Perspectives S35/Ep22: Memorial Day 2023: Telling the stories of true American Heroes

May 30 marks Memorial Day in the us; an American holiday observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Much of what we know about key historical events are learned through documentaries, school, and history books - but most vividly, is the first-hand accounts retold from our grandparents and ancestors who were alive during these periods. However, research from America’s leading biography-writing service, Story Terrace, found over half of the respondents (56%) say that much of their family history is lost because they no longer can speak with the person who knows the most about it.
