For over two decades, PBS’s National Memorial Day Concert has led the nation in honoring the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform, their families at home and all the fallen who have given their lives for our country. The multi award-winning event will be co-hosted for the sixth year by Emmy Award-winner Gary Sinise (CSI:New York) and Tony Award-winner Joe Mantegna (Criminal Minds), two acclaimed actors who have dedicated themselves to veterans causes and supporting our troops in active service. Joining them will be an all-star line-up of dignitaries, actors and musical artists.
In addition, PBS has created a website through which viewers can share remembrances of lost loved ones. To read stories or to submit one of your own, visit the Remembrances page.
The National Memorial Day Concert will be broadcast on WGBY at 8pm on Sunday, May 29th. From all of us, we hope you have an enjoyable holiday weekend.
MY Flag
By Betsy Fogarty
As I gaze upon you and watch you wave; You take my soul to
places so very far away
Forever gone are their smiles and we tend to think of them
but once in awhile
War stories never to be told names and faces that to this day
Remain unknown
They came from our north our south east and west they came
and they gave it their very best to arms did they march side
by side did the fall
Remember – Remember – Remember
Them all
In Memory of my dad -United States Army WWII
To the Men and Women of our Armforces Thank you for all you do and continue doing for our freedom. May god always be the wind on your backs
