    Community Connection Show 4-May '26-Why We Celebrate Memorial Day
    May 25 2026
    Memorial Day is one of the most recognized holidays in our country, but many people don’t really understand the history behind it or even what the day is truly meant to honor. We discuss true meaning and history of the holiday with historian Ken Davis…. Author of the ”Don’t Know Much” series of books. His website is DontKnowMuch.com. Then, as we kick off summer, if you’ve got a dog or a cat, you know they’re family. But if your pet had an emergency, would you know how to respond? Clara Correa-Geraci, a Red Cross volunteer, had some advice which could help save your best friend’s life.

    It is arguably the first big decision a young adult makes in their life. Where they'll go to college... or whether to go at all. You might be dealing with it right now...and that process can be overwhelmingly stressful for both the child AND the parent. We discuss it with Beth Heller Gelles, author of: Crazy for College. Then, did you know that Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer? This year, nearly a quarter of a million Americans will be diagnosed with Melanoma….thousands will die from it. Dr. Marc Hurlbert from the Melanoma Research Alliance, helps us better understand the disease.
