In this episode of I Choose America, we sit down with Gabriela Puckett, who grew up in communist Cuba before eventually coming to the United States.

She shares what life was really like under communism, why so many people risk everything to leave countries like Cuba, and why she believes Americans often take freedom for granted.

From government control and shortages to opportunity and freedom in America, this is a powerful conversation about patriotism, gratitude, and what makes the United States different from much of the world.

If you’ve ever wondered why millions still dream of coming to America, this episode is for you. 🇺🇸

Gaby has started a non-profit called Youth For Liberty. Their mission is to promote free enterprise, the U.S. Constitution, and the values that have made this country great, while exposing the dangers of communism for what they truly are.

What does it really cost to defend a nation?

In this episode, Walker and Bracken tell the powerful—and heartbreaking—story of the only 4 Gold Star Family of WW2, the Borgstrom brothers, a Utah family who gave nearly everything during World War II.

One by one, the Borgstrom sons answered the call to serve. And one by one, tragedy followed.

Their story is one of duty, sacrifice, and the brutal reality of war—when the cost isn’t just measured in battles won, but in families forever changed.

This episode dives into:

• The lives of the Borgstrom brothers before the war
• The devastating losses that shook an entire community
• How their sacrifice impacted military policy in the United States
• And what their story means for how we understand service and country today

This isn’t just a war story.

It’s a reminder of what freedom has required from ordinary American families—and why those sacrifices should never be forgotten.

If you care about American history, honor, and the true cost of freedom—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Jesus declared, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.” For centuries, those words have echoed through history — shaping nations, inspiring leaders, and defining America’s calling. From John Winthrop’s vision aboard the Arbella, to the Declaration of Independence, to Ronald Reagan’s shining city in the Cold War, America has stood as a beacon of hope in a dark world.

But a city on a hill can flicker — and if the light goes out here, where will the world turn? In this episode, we explore how biblical truth shaped America’s identity, why that vision still matters, and what it demands of us today. Along the way, we reflect on Erika Kirk’s powerful moment of forgiveness at her husband Charlie’s memorial — a living example of light overcoming darkness.

This is more than history. It’s a challenge. The eyes of all people are still upon us. Will America continue to shine?
