As Memorial Day nears and the community prepares to honor those who gave their lives in service to the country, join Bernard Rader, a World War II veteran and POW, to discuss his historic story of survival.

Mr. Rader, a rifleman for the 94th Infantry Division, 301st Regiment and a Bronze Star recipient was a prisoner of war in France during World War II. Mr. Rader was one of 149 Allies exchanged for German prisoners. There were only three such exchanges during the war.
