Relentlessly Resilient host Jennie Taylor launched  The Major Brent Taylor Foundation on what would have been her husband's 40th birthday. Nearly five years later, the organization has expanded to not only include their original principles of training, honoring, and engaging, but to provide Gold Star families with travel opportunities to attend the annual rededication of the Global War on Terrorism Memorial, an interactive and massive 9/11 Project traveling installation, Flag Missions, and much much more. 

On this Cohost Conversation episode, Jennie and Michelle discuss the power and purpose of the foundation and invite others to get involved in patriotism wherever they are, including if they can donate to the foundation or attend the Leadership Legacy Gala on Friday, November 8, 2024, in Ogden Utah.
