Learn how this day of remembrance began after the Civil War, how it became a federal holiday, and the traditions that have shaped its significance over time. We’ll discuss the role of communities, veterans, and cultural practices in honoring those who gave their lives in service to the nation.
Whether you’re interested in U.S. history, civic traditions, or simply want to deepen your understanding of this solemn holiday, this program offers insight and reflection on the values that unite us in remembrance.
