Honoring everyone who served our country today on this #MemorialDay. My 95-year-old grandfather is riding (no longer marching) in a parade in my hometown today. James Bard was a #POW in World War 2. He is the most amazing man I’ve ever met. #Thankyou

Lots of friends saying “Boo, you have to work on the holiday.” I’m feeling blessed that I GET to work. I GET to do journalism and I GET to do what I love every day. Turning those “have tos” into “get tos” and feeling grateful, especially during the pandemic. @WDRBNews
