## Resource

In this special Memorial Day edition of the Closing Market Report, host Todd Gleason guides listeners through an auditory journey honoring fallen service members and highlighting historical preservation. The broadcast opens by tracing the origins of Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, and emphasizing the National Moment of Remembrance. It then shifts to Ypres, Belgium, to explore the moving nightly "Last Post" ceremony at the Menin Gate, which has commemorated World War I casualties since 1929. Finally, the program returns to the United States to showcase the J.H. Hawes Grain Elevator and Museum in Atlanta, Illinois, detailing the community-led restoration of this 1904 agricultural landmark and its significance to early 20th-century farming. ★ Support this podcast ★
