"Veterans Remember and Give Thanks"
Nov 26, 2021 Season 2 Episode 7
Jeff McFadden/Sandy Myerchin
We combine the observance of America's two major November holidays, Veterans Day and Thanksgiving, as U.S. Army veteran Jeff McFadden and Marine Corps veteran Sandy Myerchin recall their respective stints in the military and share what they're thankful for this Thanksgiving season.

Notes:

  • The Veterans Day coverage provided by Richmond News editor-in-chief Jack "Miles" Ventimiglia, mentioned near the end of the episode, is in the Richmond News' Nov. 19 print issue. It includes a front-page story, continued on page 11; and a photo spread on pages 10-11. To pick up a hard copy, visit our offices at 204 W. North Main St. in Richmond, Missouri. 
  • For future "Veterans Remember and Give Thanks" episodes: If you're a veteran living in Ray County, or know a Ray County veteran, contact "Ray County Voices" host Shawn Roney at sports@richmond-dailynews.com to arrange an interview. 
  • Music: "We Gather Together" (a.k.a., "Kresmer"), traditional Dutch melody, arranged by Shawn Roney; "Marines' Hymn," melody attributed to Jacques Offenbach from "Genevieve de Brabant," arranged by Shawn Roney; "Taps," melody attributed to Daniel Adams Butterfield. All selections performed by a solo incarnation of the musical collective Sacred & Secular.
