Happy Memorial Day from The Big Broadcast! Enjoy a little extra old time radio this long weekend, and listen to the link above of “How Sleep The Brave”. Originally broadcast by the Armed Forces Radio Service in 1948 on Memorial Day, this program features film star Lew Ayers. Saluting World War II dead, “How Sleep the Brave” is based on a blank verse poem published by Joseph A. Bourdow.
“Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.” – President Harry S Truman
