#### Season 1 | Episode 77

We will shine a light on remarkable achievements and inspiring stories of extraordinary young people across the nation.

We’ll celebrate what’s right with today’s youth! We’ll hear from a fraternity member who made headlines for bravely and proudly protecting and defending the American and Israeli flag when protesters on campus tried to hoist theirs instead. Another patriotic young man shares why he has placed more than 600 thousand flags on fallen soldiers’ graves. We’ll meet a young mogul who turned a lemonade stand into an 11-million-dollar business, a teen beauty queen breaking barriers with her disability, and a 16 year old who used her experience of self-harm to help her peers with gift bags good for their mental health.
