Let’s Honor Memorial Day
It’s Memorial Day Weekend, and that’s our theme on NEWisco Weekend.
Our cover story features Civic Media’s very own John Maino and why telling the stories of veterans and those we’ve lost in service to our country is so important to him.
Teri Barr has a feature on the history of Memorial Day. Pete Schwaba stays on theme with a poignant film perfect for the weekend. We’ll have stories on Quilts of Valor and Summer safety when boating or swimming from Melissa Kaye, and Konrad Krueger tells us about the Green Bay Action Sports Organization. We wrap things up with Operation Song. It’s a meaningful and moving issue of NEWisco Weekend.
