Memorial Day: The Graves We Forgot and the Sacred Cost of Freedom

Memorial Day was never supposed to be just a long weekend, a barbecue, or the unofficial start of summer. Before it became a federal holiday, Memorial Day was known as Decoration Day, a time when Americans decorated the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers, flags, and remembrance. It was born out of the grief of the Civil War, when families across the country were forced to face the terrible cost of division, sacrifice, and freedom. In this episode of Broadcasting Seeds, Bennett Tanton explores the real meaning of Memorial Day, its roots in Decoration Day, the connection to Waterloo, New York, the National Moment of Remembrance, and the deeper spiritual question behind it all: What happens to a nation when it forgets the people who died so it could remain free? This is not about shallow patriotism. It is about memory, sacrifice, gratitude, grief, and the soul of America.Before the barbecue, before the sales, before the noise, remember the graves.At 3:00 p.m. local time on Memorial Day, Americans are encouraged to pause for one minute to honor those who died in service to the United States.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-broadcasting-seeds-podcast--6402290/support.Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/BroadcastingSeeds. for Ad-Free audio & video content.Books-BennettTantonBooks.comWhat We Have (Grid Collapse Series Book 1)What We Have (Grid Collapse Series Book 1)The War You Didn’t Know You Were In: Understanding and Winning the Spiritual BattleCREATURES AT THE EDGE: Cryptids, Archetypes, and the Human Encounter with Mystery (At the Edge Series)The Last Witch Hunter’s Journal WebsiteYouTube
