More from this show


In this special Memorial Day edition of Arizona Horizon, we spoke with Lori Piestewa’s son, Brandon Whiterock, 20 years after her death as he courageously reflects on the enduring legacy of his mother. Also, a roadway installation in north Phoenix recognizes Medal of Honor recipients with ties to Arizona. And we revisited our interview with Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego, who talked about his combat experiences in Iraq.

In this segment:

Brandon Whiterock, Lori Piestewa's son; Councilman Jim Waring, City of Phoenix, District 2; Rep. Ruben Gallego (D), District 7
