Heroes’ Sacrifice Stirs Memorial Day | 5/26/25

Join Aaron McIntire on The A.M. Update Memorial Day Special, honoring the fallen with the origin story of Decoration Day, established in 1868 to decorate Civil War graves at Arlington National Cemetery. Hear the inspiring tales of conscientious objectors Joseph G. LaPointe Jr. and Thomas W. Bennett, Vietnam War medics who earned Medals of Honor for their selfless bravery, saving lives without wielding weapons. Their stories, laid to rest in Ohio and West Virginia, challenge today’s apathy and call us to carry their burden of sacrifice.
