Some of the greatest American heroes are people most of us have never heard of. In today’s episode, Ryan talks with retired Brigadier General and military historian Ty Seidule about five remarkable Americans whose stories embody courage, sacrifice, service, and leadership. They also talk about why the people we choose to honor matter, what the renaming of military bases reveals about American history, and why telling the truth about the past does not mean giving up on greatness.Ty Seidule served in the U.S. Army for more than three decades, retiring as a brigadier general in 2020. He is a professor emeritus of history at West Point and served as vice chair of the Congressional Naming Commission, which was tasked with renaming Department of Defense assets that honored Confederates.Ty Seidule is the author of A Promise Delivered: Ten American Heroes and the Battle to Rename Our Nation’s Military Bases and Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southerner’s Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause.📚 Grab signed copies of both of Ty Seidule's books at The Painted Porch | https://www.thepaintedporch.com/👉 Follow Ty Seidule on Instagram | @tyseidule🎟️ DAILY STOIC LIVE | Ryan Holiday is coming to a city near you!
