America's 250th birthday is here, and it's time to celebrate.

From the American Revolution to the Civil War to the civil rights movement to today, the United States has always lived on the edge. But love of God and country has helped our nation endure for a quarter-millennium.

On this week's episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we trace great moments in U.S. history that should make every American heart swell with pride.

We also introduce a trivia game you can play along at home as you guess whether a series of product names represent a type of firework...or a brand of wine. Check it out:

While there's much to celebrate, there is a black eye on our country this Independence Day, as Planned Parenthood is set to resume collecting hundreds of millions of tax dollars this week.
