Loretta Reynolds grew up just off Erdman Avenue on the eastern edge of Baltimore as the youngest of five girls. Today she is Brigadier General Reynolds, and commands Parris Island, the famous training grounds for the U.S. Marine Corps. She'll tell us her story.

Then – The Olympics are over, but the Paralympics are just gearing up!  We'll talk with Baltimore’s own Jessica Long, who'll be going for the gold in swimming.

Plus:  August 1776.  Brooklyn, New York. The first big battle of the revolution. General Washington's forces are greatly     outnumbered. He orders a retreat, and a brave Maryland regiment is decimated while providing cover. We’ll learn the story of these soldiers, known as the Maryland 400.
