Memorial Day: Honoring Fallen Veterans' Valor | JQJO

Memorial Day commemorates fallen military service members. This year's Up First newsletter featured listener stories highlighting sacrifice and valor, such as Hope Sutton's grandfather who defused booby traps in WWII and her father, a Vietnam veteran possibly affected by Agent Orange. The newsletter also noted record-breaking travel projections for the holiday weekend and featured stories on initiatives supporting veterans, including a WWII museum and an urban agriculture project aiding veteran mental health.
