Lebanon Area Foundation: May's Monthly Community Needs

Millsap in the Morning: Taylor Howe

This week on Millsap in the Morning, David Millsap is joined by Taylor Howe for a conversation about America’s 250th birthday and what Independence Day means beyond politics. They discuss the upcoming July 3 downtown celebration, the July 4 fireworks at the Lebanon airport, and the start of the Laclede County Fair. The conversation takes a deeper look at the Declaration of Independence, the Founding Fathers, and the ordinary people who took extraordinary risks to create a new nation. David and Taylor explore the significance of the Declaration, the personalities of leaders like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Washington, and Abigail Adams, and how their ideas continue to shape America today. They also touch on the Revolutionary War, the Constitution, the Civil War, and why understanding history helps us better appreciate the freedoms we enjoy. David also previews upcoming episodes featuring State Representative Don Mayhew and Presiding Commissioner Randy Angst, along with Lebanon Now’s upcoming election coverage.
