Memorial Day
Memorial Day has come to be a celebration, the unofficial first day of summer. It's also a day to remember our men and women in uniform. In today's show, we have some summer celebrations, and also a most beloved American work, Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings. Plus a new work by Kevin Puts that honors servicemen and women buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
