We're celebrating the heartbeat of rural America this July 4th, from the veterans who fought for our democracy to the small business owners revitalizing small-town America.

Heidi and Joel speak with Jane Matejcek, a nurse at the VA hospital and president of Honor Flights North Dakota. Jane tells us about these flights' incredible impact on veterans' lives and the heartwarming homecoming ceremonies. Then, Joel interviews a Korean War veteran during his Honor Flight visit to DC. 

Last, we hear from Brian Noyes, owner of Red Truck Bakery, about how California roots and southern cooking lessons combined to create a bakery revitalizing a small town in Virginia.
