MEMORIAL DAY 2026

On this special Memorial Day edition of Hope for the Caregiver, Peter Rosenberger reflects on sacrifice, remembrance, and the God who does not forget. Drawing from deeply personal memories of his father serving as a Navy chaplain during Vietnam-era casualty notifications, Peter explores the unseen burden carried by military chaplains who walked up to front doors carrying the worst news a family could receive. Why does Matthew's Gospel deliberately preserve the name of Uriah the Hittite in the genealogy of Christ? What does that reveal about honor, grief, and the faithfulness of God? And what can Memorial Day teach us about service, sacrifice, and the cost borne by military families across generations? This moving program also features excerpts from Peter's interview with retired Army Chaplain Lt. Col. Michael Frazier, who shares firsthand experiences conducting casualty notifications, military funerals, and ministering to grieving families in moments of profound loss. Featuring patriotic hymns, reflections on Scripture, the history of military chaplaincy, and a special closing performance of the National Anthem by Gracie Rosenberger. A powerful Memorial Day conversation about duty, grief, faith, patriotism, and the sacred work of remembering.
