This year’s broadcast features co-hosts Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna, actress Mary McCormack, conductor Jack Everly and the National Symphony Orchestra, and a host of musical guests. The concert honors the legacy of General Colin L. Powell, pays tribute to those who lost their lives in Vietnam, and memorializes soldiers who died in recent conflicts.
