A Day for Remembering

The National Memorial Day Concert (May 29 on PBS) will again pay tribute to service members, their families at home and all those who have given their lives for our country. This year, it will include a special salute to the late Gen. Colin Powell, who appeared at every annual concert since its inception 33 years ago. “This is a day for all Americans to pause and reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform,” says Criminal Minds actor Joe Mantegna, 74, who for the 16th year will co-host the event with actor Gary Sinise, 67. “This show is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.”
