On May 25, KRCU will air A Salute In Song for Memorial Day from producer Charlie Warren in celebration of the national holiday. 

This two-hour special will feature music of the Civil War, Spanish-American War, World Wars I & II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf, touching also on Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. It will document our country’s strife over entry into some wars, but respectfully acknowledge the hardships of combat, and honor our fighting men and women who have given the ultimate.
