On Memorial Day we remember those who died in service to their country and those who died since serving. But it should also be a time to reflect on what exactly their sacrifices mean—not just then, but now. What is worth fighting for?

That’s what we discuss with Lt. Col. Orson Swindle, a true real hero. On Nov. 11, 1966, Marine Corps pilot Captain Swindle was shot down over North Vietnam. He was captured and spent the next 6 years and 4 months as a POW, subject to unbelievable deprivation and torture, mostly at the notorious Hanoi Hilton. After the military, he continued to serve in roles including Assistant Commerce Secretary to President Reagan, and Federal Trade commissioner under two administrations.

Swindle credits his upbringing—teaching values like honor, honesty, commitment, responsibility, and faith—with his ability to survive as a POW. He says it was the same for the other prisoners:

“Every one of those men were special in every respect that I can come up with. And we just did our job: duty, honor, country. That was our job, and we knew it.”

Swindle says he doesn’t see those same values in America today and shares his fears and hopes for America’s future.

Hi everyone!

We are currently implementing some big very big and exciting changes!

As you may already know, NTD shows are often demonetized and censored by YouTube. So to ensure we can continue to report in an uncensored environment, The Nation Speaks is moving to a new premium subscription platform launched by The Epoch Times: EpochTV.

This YouTube channel will continue to publish clips from all our interviews, plus our special feature, America Q&A. Full episodes will be available on-demand on EpochTV.

You can also watch us live every Sat. 11:00-11:30am (ET) on NTD.com or check to see if your local cable or free-to-air provider carries NTD here: https://www.ntd.com/tv-providers.html

Thank you for supporting our efforts to continue reporting the truth—and help spread the word!

We are looking forward to making this new platform flourish together with you!
