In this special Memorial Day episode of The F-It Podcast, we take a step back from the cookouts, long weekends, and unofficial start of summer to talk about what the holiday is truly meant to honor.
“F is for Fallen” explores the origins of and how it differs from holidays like Veteran's Day. We discuss why Memorial Day carries a different weight—serving as a day of remembrance for the men and women who gave their lives in service to the country.
The conversation also looks at some of the traditions and symbols that have become part of our national memory, including , the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the quiet moments of reflection that remind us what sacrifice really means.
From the Civil War to more recent conflicts overseas, we talk about the lasting impact these sacrifices have had on families, communities, and the country itself—and why remembering them still matters today.
This episode isn’t about politics or headlines. It’s about respect, remembrance, and taking the time to recognize the people who never made it home.
