Experience the American dream with today’s Patriot of the Past interview. I’m your host, John Gillespie.
It’s January 2, 1795. I’m with the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Jay.
“Chief Justice, sir, what keeps this country strong?”
“As I stated in Federalist Paper #2, Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people professing the same religion attached to the same principles of government. This country and this people seem to have been made for each other.”

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.
