Remembering the Heroes from Hometowns in the Family Life region

As we approach Memorial Day, this Family Life News Feature takes you to the Veterans Administration National Cemetery at Bath, New York.

You will hear the stories of the war dead who were laid to rest there, many dating back to America’s Civil War.

Our story-telling guide for this radio-tour is Dan Miller, a volunteer at the museum at the National Cemetery.  Miller himself is a decorated war veteran who served as a Navy medic during the Vietnam War.

“Hometown Heroes” from Family Life

Hannah Farley does outreach to encourage people who are 45 and older to get checked for early signs of cancer.

In this Family Life News interview, she says some residents of rural areas have a bias which prevents them from wanting to get cancer screening.  Farley finds though that it is productive to reinterpret the question as a “stewardship of your body” and to encourage you to ponder how the people around you rely on your presence — “you are a gift to your family”.

In this week’s edition of “Hometown Heroes”, you will hear about success stories through this program across its three decades. The CSP team can help individuals get screened, even if they don’t have current health insurance or feel there are other barriers.

Farley is the Community Outreach Manager for the Cancer Screening Program in the Finger Lakes region of New York.
