Losing a child through violence is easily at the top of the list of the most painful human experiences. Rob Pursley was 28 when he was shot and killed in Hyde Park, in Cincinnati almost 20 years ago, while parking his car to meet his girlfriend for dinner. The perp is serving life in prison, and the family is grateful they had that closure. Dan Pursley, his wife Edie and sons Dana and Jack are keeping Rob's legacy alive through sports scholarships at his own Sycamore High School. To fund those scholarships, fundraisers are essential.

That's the topic of this show. The Rob Pursley Memorial Golf Outing, Monday August 11, 2025. Contact Dan Pursley for tourney, donations, questions. 513-383-9405.

You'll meet Rob's father Dan, his brother Jack and learn more about the foundation that allows them to continually remember their lost son and brother, and perpetuate his legacy of passion for sports.

See Rob's story on Local 12.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
