This day is set aside each year to honor the fallen:  those who have served in time of war and who have sacrificed their lives on our behalf.  While not all military actions commenced by the United States will be seen as just in the eyes of history, the men and women who—for whatever reason—got caught up in the fighting and lost their lives should be remembered.  Today’s show will go back in time to our first war and take us on a musical progression up to now.  It will also touch on the pain that a soldier’s death wreaks on family, buddies, neighbors….and society as a whole.  Please join me for this Memorial Day Special.  It’ll be worth getting up early for
