America's Frontlines Podcast 29 May 2026

In this episode of America’s Frontlines: Colonel Denny and Skip examine a challenge hiding in plain sight: the decline of the American family. With nearly two out of five children now born outside of marriage and the United States leading the developed world in single-parent households, they explore the far-reaching effects on education, economic opportunity, military readiness, crime, and the future strength of the nation. Colonel Denny also reviews some of the most significant news stories affecting our lives today, providing insight into the issues shaping America and the world. As always, he delivers another dose of humor and a few well-timed one-liners to lighten the mood and bring a smile to your face. Our featured guest is Stephanie Shannon, a U.S. Army veteran and founder of Michigan Women Veterans Empowerment. Stephanie shares her journey of service and discusses her organization's mission to empower, support, and advocate for women veterans throughout Michigan and beyond. It's also time once again for our Movie of the Month review, featuring team member Diane Raver from the Garden State Film Festival, who offers her thoughts on this month's featured film. And of course, we wrap up with our regular look back at military history from this point in time—because understanding the events that shaped our nation helps us better appreciate the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy today. This is an episode that explores service, family, community, and the enduring values that help keep America strong.
