Memorial Day, originating after the Civil War, now honors all who died while serving in the military. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, a local project aims to commemorate the nation’s revolutionary beginnings and the burial sites of some of its first veterans. Judy Woodruff, as part of her series ‘America at a Crossroads,’ reports on this effort.
