<p>I’m surprised no one has commented on this show. Just in case you are not watching, it is a really good. It honors our veterans. all those young people sitting and watching, with missing limbs. </p>

<p>H and I watched. We live in suburban DC and have attended many of these concerts and they are wonderful. PBS says this is the 25th year, but they have been around before that (I think they have only been on PBS for 25 years).</p>

<p>Must be amazing to actually attend one of these concerts. very well done. </p>

<p>We actually talked about going tonight. People bring picnics and wine and sit and enjoy the music and speakers and it really is amazing just to be a part of it. One of the best events in DC.</p>
