Experience the American dream with today’s Patriots of the Past interview. I’m your host, John Gillespie.
It’s November 17, 1776. I’m with General Washington’s wife, Martha.
JG: “Mrs. Washington, why do you look so upset?”
MW: “Mr. Gillespie, British rumormongers have said that I am opposed to the war. Nothing could be further from the truth. I, like my courageous husband, am an American patriot, committed to the cause of freedom.”
Committed to freedom, Martha Washington faithfully supported her husband, ran Mount Vernon, supplied the soldiers, and prayed for America.

John and Jan Gillespie are the founders of the Rawhide Boys’ Ranch; they have fostered 351 teenagers and wrote the book Our 351 Sons; they have also assisted numerous churches in developing youth programs and expanding their total church ministries. After running for U.S. Senate, John founded 1776 American Dream, which exists to demonstrate the vision of our founding fathers and help our generation of youth passionately embrace those values.
