National Memorial Day Concert

So glad to see that Gary Sinise will be there to host this year. He adds so much, along with Joe Mantegna they are an unbeatable pair.

@Marp Thank you for the reminder of this somber yet thoughtfully produced tribute every Memorial Day! I, too, am glad to see Gary and Joe back together this year.

Thank you for all posters who have served, have family or friends who have served our country and a special thank you for those family members or friends made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

God bless!

It's been an excellent presentation this year! I can't think of one I've enjoyed more. What a wonderful thing.

I guess I missed it; the Memorial Day concert was on Sunday rather than Memorial Day. That's okay, I have plenty of other things to do today.

Thank you, @Marp .

Yes, these concerts are very beautiful, always.

I appreciate -each time I read- your "quote"; I absolutely concur with what you had written, ....but changing a tad, defining myself as;

Yes, indeed, .... I am very much as {{ IN}} setting a positive Example for the Common Good.

Thank you for your post~ May 31st, 2021: Monday

I love the song Vince, and sorry can't remember his last name, sang and played. I think he wrote it. Beautiful, but sad

That was Vince Gill, and the song is Go Rest High On That Mountain...one of my favorites!

RIP, dear heroes and protectors of past, present, and future.

Anyone that missed the concert and would like to see it search on youtube using the phrase: national memorial day concert 2021

PBS has posted it on youtube.
