We live in a polarized time, with Americans as pessimistic about the future of the country as they ever have been in the last 60 years. Now more than ever, we need a reminder of what America is and who Americans are. Help us in welcoming our speaker, David Pinkston, as he introduces his first book, titled Positive Patriotism: Reigniting Our Love of Country. This book analyzes the falling patriotism among Americans, identifies causes, and provides simple, straightforward, solutions to regain our gratitude and reverence for America. This book is not just a narrative; it’s an invitation to reconnect with our nation’s core values and rich history. We are thrilled to be joined by David Pinkston, a retired Captain of the U.S. Navy with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in the realm of military intelligence, training, and operations.
