Show by Mark Houston

Happy Veterans Day from The Second Shift. Houston spent the afternoon digging into the history behind the holiday, and a surprising amount of it happened right here in the Black Hills. Find out what a cavalry colonel at Fort Meade started in 1892 that you still do before every ball game. Meet a 12-year-old from Texas who talked his way onto the battleship USS South Dakota. And hear what two Army pilots pulled off at the Stratobowl on Armistice Day 1935.
