L2L Memorial Day

Remembering Memorial Day

This is Memorial Day weekend, and literature is rich with observations — in novels, poetry, and memoirs. Memorial Day originated as the result of the Civil War, and each conflict since has come with new observations about the act of war and the fallen. Join Leigh Rich and P. T. Bridgeport as they attempt to gather meaning from the literature of the men who survived and the men who fell.
