It's always a wonderful program to watch and so heartbreaking. We all need to understand what this holiday is about. God bless us all.

EVERYONE in America should be watching this. I hear people outside laughing and enjoying life, fireworks ... it's breaking my heart.

Fireworks on Memorial Day? I wonder what they're celebrating.

Back to the TV show: is it the same show every year, or do they intersperse new elements with the old?

Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna are two amazing individuals. My family waits for this Concert each year. It highlights the real reason for this holiday. Too many just don't get it though.

They sacrificed their lives so that we may enjoy life and the freedoms they fought for. I believe we can enjoy life and remember their sacrifice at the same time.

Men who place a higher value on their wives, families, friends, and nation than on their own lives ensure the survival of our cherished liberty. The soldier sacrifices his time, his fortune, and sometimes his life that others might live in freedom. Those of us who are the beneficiaries of their sacrifice must revere and honor the intrepid men who provide freedom through military victory.

Time is just a drop in the bucket compared to eternity. It isn’t how long you live that matters; it is how well you are prepared to die. ~~Colonel Robert B. Thieme, Jr.

One hour of tears. Good hour. Toscana is a good singer, but for me she runied GOD BLESS AMERICA. I know,, young people like to put their spin on traditional songs. At least she could sing.

Two great Hosts as usual.
