Summary
Disney and ABC News spent over a year planning a 24-hour Fourth of July coverage package, anchored by ABC News national correspondent Stephanie Ramos — a military reservist who will rappel down a wall at Fort Campbell live on "Good Morning America." The extensive planning involved coordinating coverage across multiple U.S. locations for the nation's Sesquicentennial, with ABC News heavily leveraging its news division resources. The piece highlights Ramos's unique background as both a journalist and military service member, and details the logistical effort behind the holiday broadcast.
