WFHB FireHouse Broadcasting

The sounds of the Bloomington Brass Band open our annual Memorial Day Special. You get a front row seat as we go on-location to Veterans Memorial Plaza at the Monroe County Fairgrounds in Bloomington, Indiana. This program is hosted by retired Army Reserve Colonel John Tilford, founder of Hoosier Honor Flight, a not-for-profit organization created to fly World War II veterans and terminally ill veterans of any war to Washington, D.C. to visit the National World War II Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery and other sites on the National Mall at no cost to the veterans. Our featured guest speaker is Monroe County Circuit Judge Steve Galvin, who served as an assistant in the Hoosier Honor Flight program. Young singer Maria Lysandrou performs the National Anthem. We close with local pastor Roy McRoberts, and "Taps" performed by Gerald Hanson and Jim Kirkman of the Bloomington Brass Band. Recorded on-location on Memorial Day May 31, 2010, in a WFHB exclusive.
