Feedback with Dan Holzman

Today on FEEDBACK, it's a special Veterans Day edition! Dan and A.J. pay tribute to their family members and friends who have served our country in times of war and peace. We highlight local Veterans Day ceremonies and events and welcome U.S. Air Force and Vietnam War veteran John Henschel, who shares stories of his military service and discusses his current work supporting fellow veterans. Listeners also call in to share their experiences with the USO and the National Military Monument currently on display in Washington, D.C.

In our second hour, we take a look back at the history of Veterans Day and how the observance has evolved over the past 100 years. We also feature a speech by former President Ronald Reagan, an Armed Forces medley honoring the Navy, Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Space Force, and Coast Guard, and a Veterans Day poem written by local resident J. David Roslin. Listeners continue calling in to honor loved ones who have served our country, remind us about next month's Wreaths Across America event at Fort Indiantown Gap, and bring attention to a local homeless veteran in need of assistance. Plus, we hear about a local restaurant filled with veterans coming together to celebrate Veterans Day.

It's a heartfelt show honoring those who have served, remembering their sacrifices, and recognizing the ways our community continues to support veterans.
