Let’s Honor Memorial Day

Teri Barr has a feature on the history of Memorial Day. Pete Schwaba stays on theme with a poignant film perfect for the weekend. We’ll have stories on Quilts of Valor and Summer safety when boating or swimming from Melissa Kaye, and Konrad Krueger tells us about the Green Bay Action Sports Organization. We wrap things up with Operation Song. It’s a meaningful and moving issue of NEWisco Weekend.

Paws for Patriots: Healing Veterans Through Canine Companions
Happy Friday! Maggie begins today's show by shining a light on the transformative work of Patriot K9s of Wisconsin with Executive Director Lani Rethaber. This remarkable organization pairs service dogs with veterans facing PTSD and other mental health challenges. Through a unique training model that involves both community volunteers and prison programs, these dogs are specially trained to detect stress hormones and provide deep pressure therapy—empowering veterans to reclaim their independence and restore personal connections. With veteran suicide rates at crisis levels, the conversation underscores the critical need for programs like this. It's a true testament to the healing power of the human-animal bond and the lives being changed across Wisconsin thanks to these devoted canine companions.

Up next, Teri Barr joins us for a very special Barr Band Friday, reminding us not to judge an artist based on their age. Our live musical guest is Paige Kleber, an up-and-coming singer-songwriter from Madison who is just 12 years old, making her the youngest guest on Nite Lite so far! She was inspired by the accomplishments of young artists like Taylor Swift, and we believe that her journey will inspire other young musicians in much the same way. Despite her young age, she has already released an album of amazing original songs and plays shows around the state, including several performances of the National Anthem at sports events. Between the annual Madison Area Music Association and Wisconsin Area Music Industry awards shows, Paige is up for several awards, and she will be performing at the WAMI Award Show.
