Memorial Day Concert from West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. 

Join co-hosts Gary Sinise ("CSI: New York") and Joe Mantegna ("Criminal Minds") in a night of remembrance featuring an all-star line-up of dignitaries, actors and musical artists in performance with the National Symphony Orchestra.

The 23rd annual broadcast of the NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT airs live from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol before a concert audience of hundreds of thousands, millions more at home, and to our troops around the world on the American Forces Network.

"Memorial Day is a time for reflection on the sacrifice and service of veterans and their families,” said John F. Wilson, SVP and Chief Programming Executive. “We hope that all Americans will take time to remember and honor these real-life heroes who serve our country every day.”

This presentation airs Sunday, May 27 at 7:00 p.m. on KUED.
