Bonus Episode: Answering the Call: A Memorial Day Conversation

In this special Memorial Day bonus episode of Start Here, America Did, we pause to honor the service members who gave their lives in defense of our country and reflect on the responsibility we share to remember them. Joined by The Honorable Devlin Robinson, Pennsylvania State Senator for the 37th District and United States Marine Corps veteran, this conversation explores the meaning of Memorial Day through the lens of service, sacrifice, and gratitude. Senator Robinson shares personal reflections from his military service, his family’s generations-long legacy of service, and the friends and fellow Marines he remembers on Memorial Day. His perspective reminds us that this day is more than a long weekend. It is a time to pause, reflect, and honor those who did not return home, while recognizing how their sacrifice continues to shape the freedoms we experience today.
