Memorial Day was first established in the aftermath of the Civil War, but has become a day to mark all those who died serving in the military. As the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, Judy Woodruff reports on a local project to mark our revolutionary origins and the final resting places of some of the nation’s first veterans. It’s part of her series, America at a Crossroads.
