AMERICA SALUTES
We’re celebrating 16 years of being the first to say thank you to the young men and women who choose to make a Constitutional commitment. When they take the oath to defend our freedom, it’s about more than a preference, a person, or a political party - it’s the decision to selflessly serve our great nation.
Hosted by Pete Hegseth, combat veteran, bestselling author, co-host of FOX & Friends Weekend, and avid supporter of OCS, this 30-minute broadcast will highlight the best of AMERICA SALUTES and will also include memorable moments from star-studded guests, honorable military leaders, musical performances, and more.
