Stephanie Ramos will help the Walt Disney Co. and ABC News deliver more than fireworks during a weekend that many TV companies are devoting to celebrating the Fourth of July.

During a special Saturday telecast of “Good Morning America” on ABC, Ramos, an ABC News national correspondent who has served for many years in the nation’s military reserves, will rappel down a wall live from Fort Campbell, a U.S. Army base close to Nashville. “She’s a badass,” says Simone Swink, the ABC News executive who oversees the Disney news outlet’s morning and overnight programming.
