Memorial Day: Boston's Historic Horseman and His Men




A brief excerpt from a PBS documentary on the sculptor Saint-Gaudens, who created the Shaw Memorial on Boston Common. We take it for granted 364 days a year but Memorial Day seemed like a good time to stop and take a closer look. What memorials are in your town?

It's Memorial Day--a day to remember the war dead. I've been to the cemetery, seen the flags planted among the old and new graves.
