Dedication: Medal of Honor awardee Army Sgt. Joseph E. Miller killed in action May 16, 1945 at Ishimmi Ridge, Okinawa, Japan.

Urban Cure's Star Parker 2:15-2:45pm

Star Parker is one of the names on the short list mentioned when anyone speaks of national black conservative leaders.

Star Parker is the founder and president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, a public policy think tank that promotes market-based solutions to fight poverty.

Before involvement in social activism, Star had seven years of first-hand experience in the grip of welfare dependency. After consulting on federal Welfare Reform in the mid-90s, she founded UrbanCure to bring new ideas to policy discussions on how to transition America's poor from government dependency.

Memorial Day Special w/ John Byrnes, Concerned Veterans For America 2:45-4pm

Simply put, CVA’s mission is to advocate for policies that will preserve the freedom and prosperity that we and our families so proudly fought and sacrificed to defend.

The Goal of Concerned Veterans for America is to translate the experience, concerns and hopes unique to veterans and their families into a common vision of freedom.

We apply this unique perspective to speak out on issues that threaten to cripple not only our economic and national security, but the spirit of opportunity and liberty that all Americans cherish.

We are driven to organize and amplify that perspective to both the American people and our leaders in Washington.
