The nation will pause over the coming days to honor all Americans who have given their lives to defend the United States, and this year the National Memorial Day Concert will continue its legacy of saluting all who have worn the uniform with a special tribute to a man who still serves decades after losing a leg in Vietnam.
The National Memorial Day Concert takes place Sunday, May 29 at 8 p.m. on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol. It airs on PBS. Actors Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna will co-host the event, which will include acts such as the Beach Boys, Trace Adkins, two different American Idol performers and the National Symphony Orchestra.
I wouldnt be anywhere else this weekend, Sinise told WND and Radio America. Its become such a special way to highlight and honor the men and women who served our country and paid the ultimate price for our freedom.

Thanks for the ‘heads up’......Sinise is one of the good guys!
Making note to watch.
Went to the dress rehearsal yesterday, Saturday. Another moving show. The Beach Boys rocked. :)
Thanks for the programming note
Awesome. Maybe we need a ‘#vetslivesmatter’ movement.
I’m guessing that 8:00 p.m. (2000 hrs) is EDST. Adjust accordingly. :)
Mmmmmmm. Fresh Gulf shrimps. I miss buying them by the side of the road out of the back of someone’s pick up truck. Not a lot of local shrimp in the Reno area. LOL! Thanks for your service.
