A reminder that the National Memorial Day Concert will be on PBS tomorrow night starting at 7 PM Central.
Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna host the annual tribute to America's military personnel, featuring singers Gladys Knight, Sarah Brightman, Idina Menzel, Rodney Atkins and John Schneider, and the National Symphony Orchestra under Erich Kunzel.
Looks like another great show :)
Lefties would be well advised to stay away, lest their heads explode.
That’s one of the things we miss most about living in DC. We loved that concert. It was one of our favorite summer evenings.
Thanks for the reminder. Looks like a great line-up on PBS starting tomorrow afternoon(CST).
12:30 Nickles from Heaven
1:30 The Marines of Montford Point: Fighting for Freedom
2:30 The Marines
4:00 A Gathering of Heroes
4:30 The Four Chaplains: Sacrifice at Sea
5:30 D-Day: The Price of Freedom
6:30 The Price of Freedom
And then the concert, of course.
The lefties would probably get sick from all the patriotism at the concert, lol.
We love watching this every year.
So do I :)
I wish I was there...
Someday.
I’d never heard about Charles Durning’s war experiences before—incredible and very humbling.
Yep....didn’t realize until seveal years ago, just watching the Concert.
I didn’t realize he was at the camps until tonight. Man...lot of memories in that head of his.
Not to mention a bullet that’s still in his hip.
Thank you for your service, GulfWar1Vet.
Had seen the concert for the first time in a good couple of years in full. Excellent from start to finish. When they honored actor Charles During, I thought it was because he had passed since they showed three pass reflections from his service during WWII. But when he walked in, I was suprised he was still alive. It reminds me that every day as more of the veterans from WWII pass on, we must not take their reflections of their time in war battles for granted.
Also I have family relations, living and decesed who have served.
