PBS's National Memorial Day Concert Remembers the Sacrifices of
America's Veterans

The 2007 National Memorial Day Concert will be broadcast live on
PBS from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. This concert is an
annual event to honor American veterans and current members of
the U.S. Armed Services.

Gates will open to the public at 5 p.m.

Acclaimed actors Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna, both of whom have dedicated themselves to veterans' causes and supporting our troops
in active service, will reunite for a second time to co-host this moving
and reverential tribute to America's heroes. They'll be joined by
eight-time Grammy Award winner Natalie Cole, county music sensation
Josh Turner, Academy Award–winning actress Dianne Wiest, Emmy and
Golden Globe Award–winning actor Jimmy Smits, acclaimed actress
Bonnie Hunt, jazz vocalist Jane Monheit, distinguished actor Charles
Durning, inspirational singer CeCe Winans, and the National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Erich Kunzel. General Colin L. Powell,
USA (Ret.) will reflect on the impact of war on our recently wounded
soldiers, especially as they contend with long-term disabilities and
vastly changed expectations for the future.

I saw this online the other day-- I'm planning to turn it on while I make supper Sunday night.
