Ray Wagner & Rocky Sickman: 73,000 Scholarships, a Medal of Honor at the White House & Iran's Hostage Negotiators Haven't Changed in 47 Years
from The Marc Cox Morning Show
This is what patriotism looks like. The Marc Cox Morning Show welcomes Army veteran and Folds of Honor board director Ray Wagner and retired Marine Sergeant Rocky Sickman — a man who spent 444 days as an Iranian hostage — live from Whitmore Country Club. Ray breaks down how the Suntrop family alone has funded 370 scholarships and $2.8 million for local military families, and how 2,200 scholarships have gone to students at 60 Missouri colleges and universities. Then Rocky delivers a moment that stops the room — he didn't know until he came home that eight American soldiers died trying to rescue him in Operation Eagle Claw, and every single morning he wakes up earning the day in their memory. He also delivers a chilling warning about the Iran negotiations: the Islamic Republic told him to his face during interrogation that they just wait out American presidents. Ray Wagner adds a West Point moment — his classmate Major Nicholas Dockery just received the Medal of Honor at the White House. If you love this country and the warriors who defend it, you cannot afford to miss this segment.
