Tony Award-Winner Joe Mantegna and Vietnam Vet Jack Farley Gear up for PBS’ National Memorial Day Concert
For over a quarter century, PBS has inspired viewers with the annual broadcast of the multi award-winning National Memorial Day Concert (#MemDayPBS), dedicated to our men and women in uniform, their families at home and all those who have given their lives for our country. Live from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol, the night of remembrance will honor the over 400,000 valiant men and women who are laid to rest in the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery; and chronicle the experiences of the millions of American veterans who still suffer from the seen and unseen wounds of war.
Tony Award-winner Joe Mantegna and Jack Farley, who is a Vietnam Veteran and retired judge discuss the National Memorial Day Concert. The concert will feature performances by The Beach Boys, Katharine McPhee, Trace Adkins, Renee Fleming, and an appearance by General Colin Powell and more. It airs Sunday, May 29, from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. ET.
