EWTN News Nightly: Memorial Day Special | Monday, May 30, 2022

About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: 97 year old Stanley Maybruck is a World War II veteran who was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Maybruck joins us outside the WWII Memorial in Washington DC. Richard Rush and Oscar McClung, 2 Vietnam veterans, now belong to a motorcycle ministry. They describe the importance of Memorial Day in their own words. And a historian says every day is Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery. Historian Tim Frank explains how Memorial Day got its start under a different name. Meanwhile, the Merchant Mariners of World War II are also receiving recognition. The group was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal. Lawmakers gathered this month for a ceremony to mark the occasion. On another note, there are big developments in the pro-life movement. Earlier this year, we were able to ask President Joe Biden questions about abortion. It came the day after he doubled down on his defense of Roe v Wade during his State of the Union speech. The White House is also concerned about a leaked Supreme Court opinion that indicates Roe v Wade may be overturned. Conservative Strategist, Charmaine Yoest and Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Sarah Parshall Perry, join to discuss this. Finally this evening, EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief Andreas Thonhauser gives us a look into the swearing in of the Swiss Guards who promise to protect Pope Francis. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective. Join host Tracy Sabol, our Capitol Hill, White House and Rome Correspondents, as well as many other diverse guests daily, to get the latest from the U.S. and the Vatican on topics regarding our Catholic faith and interests. ------------- EWTN News Nightly airs on EWTN weekdays at 6pm & 9pm ET. ------------ Don't miss an episode of EWTN New Nightly.
