Great Regulars: For Memorial Day, we have a poem that

aired on the NewsHour four years ago. Wyatt Prunty wrote the "The Returning Dead" as a response to the NewsHour's Honor Roll, those faces of soldiers who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"What I'm going to read," Prunty says, "is a response to those lost, yet so permanently-set people, whose lives are our mute gift."
