On this special edition of The Meaning of Memorial Day, Jake Underwood explores the history, sacrifice, and traditions behind one of America’s most important days of remembrance. From the Civil War and the birth of Memorial Day to World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, this hour long special reflects on the generations of Americans who gave their lives in service to the country.

The program also highlights Ohio and Northeast Ohio connections to Memorial Day, including local traditions, veterans, cemeteries, faith, remembrance ceremonies, and the powerful story of Lyman Whitney Strong Jr. and Arthur Tappan Strong from Seville in Medina County, Ohio.

Through historical storytelling, battlefield accounts, personal letters, and reflections on remembrance across generations, this special honors the men and women whose sacrifice shaped the nation and reminds listeners why Memorial Day still matters today.
