The US Semiquincentennial (America's 250th Birthday) w/State Representative Terri Violet

Join us on Operation Insight as we celebrate our nation's semiquincentennial (250th Birthday) by hosting Missouri State Representative and Navy veteran Terri Violet!   As we celebrate 250 years of our nation's independence, we honor a connection to the very beginning of the American story and the leaders shaping its future today. Rep. Violet’s life is a masterclass in servant leadership, and her ties to the American fabric run deeper than most! She is a direct descendant of George Soule, one of the original passengers aboard the Mayflower and a signer of the Mayflower Compact in 1620! In this episode, we explore an unbroken legacy of service spanning over four centuries. Tune in as we discuss: A Lineage of Liberty: Terri traces her family history back to the literal foundational dock of America, and explains how that legacy inspires her work today. From the Crew to the Capitol: How Terri's time serving in the U.S. Navy instilled a mission-first, people-focused approach to representing Missouri’s 104th District. Servant Leadership in 2026: What America's 250th anniversary means to a veteran and legislator who has dedicated her life to defending and upholding our nation's ideals.   (00:00) Disclaimer (01:01) Opening Theme (01:30) Introduction (42:35) Part II (53:52) Ralph & The St. Charles County Veterans Museum (1:08:02) Terri's Top Priorities (1:20:58) Closing
