Memorial Day 2019
As has become a tradition with us, we're recognizing Memorial Day with "Beneath the Southern Cross," part of the original Richard Rodgers' soundtrack for the NBC "Victory at Sea" World War II documentary series from the early 1950s. The title refers to the constellation Crux (or Southern Cross) easily visible in the South Pacific. The RCA Victor Orchestra led by Robert Russell Bennett performs the song, also familiarly known as "No Other Love Have I."
Memorial Day in America is a day we remember those service men and women in all wars who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. We gratefully honor your service.

Stephen Beschloss tweeted today that he was saddened by the number of people who have said they were glad their departed family members who served in the military were not here to see what Trump has done to the country they sacridficed so much to protect.
That IS sad.
