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.

Re: National Memorial Day Concert

@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.

Re: National Memorial Day Concert

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.

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!

I guess I missed it.  Looked for it Monday.
