Memorial Day - We Remember

Memorial Day, May 25, 2008 - Today's theme - We remember you

A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
--- Joseph Campbell

Each year, the last Monday of May is set aside to honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. This Day of Remembrance dates back to the end of the Civil War, when women were compelled to decorate the graves of their loved ones, a measure of their gratitude for the sacrifice made in the name of freedom and country.

Today's show is dedicated to all who gave their lives, in gratitude for the gifts afforded me and all Americans today.
