As American military conflicts continue in Iraq and Afghanistan, this program marks the annual observance of Memorial Day, which falls on Monday. This program honors all those who gave their lives in service to this nation and its rights and freedoms from the American Revolutionary War to the current conflicts.
This year’s program departs somewhat from our past formats that programmed music from several military conflicts. Instead, this year’s emphasis is almost totally on the Civil War, the deadliest conflict in America’s history (over 500,000 died), out of which this holiday, first known as Decoration Day, originated. There is such a large body of historical and contemporary song that evolves around the Civil War and it’s worth presenting.
