Honoring everyone who served our country today on this #MemorialDay. My 95-year-old grandfather is riding (no longer marching) in a parade in my hometown today. James Bard was a #POW in World War 2. He is the most amazing man I’ve ever met. #Thankyou

Conflicting messages from protest organizers. Many urging people to stay in the park, but others take to the streets. It’s getting more tense, but not between police and protestors. It’s between protestors and protestors.

More moments from the protests at 6th and Jefferson. Peaceful so far. Listening to spoken word now.

Peaceful protests happening right now at 6th and Jefferson. We are expecting a vigil at 6pm for the man shot and killed by police early this morning at 26th and Broadway. Police say they were breaking up a gathering when they were fired upon, and the man was shot and killed.

Lots of friends saying “Boo, you have to work on the holiday.” I’m feeling blessed that I GET to work. I GET to do journalism and I GET to do what I love every day. Turning those “have tos” into “get tos” and feeling grateful, especially during the pandemic. @WDRBNews
