The public crowds the West Lawn on Sunday, May 26th to celebrate the eve of Memorial Day with this patriotic concert.
The concert begins promptly at 8 p.m. as an homage to the brave men and women who have defended the nation over the years. Celebrate their sacrifice as talented musicians play patriotic tunes on a national stage. The performances are broken up with documentary footage and dramatic readings that honor military service members, a chance to reflect on the past year and unite as a nation.
