Armed Forces Day is upon us \u2013 it\u2019s the 3rd Saturday in May. And right now, there\u2019s an historic exhibit at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley - running through October 9th \u2013 called the Secrets of World War II honoring those brave men and women who served and supported our troops. Our curators have assembled hundreds of artifacts from museums and private collections - never before seen together \u2013 which reveal compelling stories of technological advancement, creative problem solving, and incredible human persistence under the backdrop of world\u2019s largest and most destructive war in history.\xa0If you have a chance to visit the Reagan Library to see this exhibit, you\u2019ll love it. And we\u2019re mentioning this in our podcast, because President Reagan always remembered to honor those men and women currently wearing the cloth of our nation in a radio address to the nation on Armed Forces Day. It was created by President Harry Truman in August, 1949, to those all serving as well as those who sacrificed to defend our freedom.
