Join Us on July 4 for the Most Patriotic Broadcast in the Country

This Independence Day, American Ground Radio, with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr, invites you to experience a powerful, soul-stirring celebration of the country we call home. This isn’t just radio. It’s a revival of the American spirit.

In this one-of-a-kind Independence Day special (now in its 9th year), Americans from every corner of the nation — from Governors to astronauts, from veterans to celebrities (and everyone in between) — answer a single, profound question: What makes America great?

At first glance, it seems like an easy question. Maybe even predictable. You might expect the usual answers, but what unfolds is something far deeper, more personal, and profoundly moving.

Because the answer isn’t about politics or party lines. 

It’s the first-generation immigrant describing seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time. A mother’s late-night prayers. The small business owner whose business started at their kitchen table. The single father who worked two jobs so that his child would be the first in their family to go to college. 

Those aren’t rehearsed answers. They’re raw. And they’re real. 

That’s what makes “What Makes America Great?” so compelling. It isn’t just another patriotic program — it’s a journey through the hearts of Americans who still believe this country is worth loving, worth fighting for, and worth understanding.

And it’s only on American Ground Radio, with hosts Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr.

This July 4th — tune in, stand tall, and remember: America’s best days are never behind her — they’re always just ahead.
