Remembering Memorial Day

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 31, 2010
Got plans this weekend? A jaunt to the Hamptons perhaps? Maybe an early run to Ikea to catch that Memorial Day sale? Or what about going to a funeral of a soldier you're not related to? Tune in to learn how you can put the “memorial” back in Memorial Day by honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Also: The FBI's report in detainee abuse at Guantanamo Bay; humanitarian aid in the face of tragedy; McCain and his televangelists; and the ever-shifting ethical and legal landscape when it comes to taking photographs around New York.
