Just watched the National Memorial Day Concert from Washington, D.C. on Public
Television, the program has some extremely moving portions. One is a discussion between two brothers who both were in the military and the impact on both of them. One of the brothers and the family of the other were in the audience. There is a tribute to actor Charles Durning, a veteran of World War II, who died recently. It includes a speech he once gave about his recollections of the Battle of the Bulge as well as entering one of the concentration camps. In addition, there is marvelous music.
The program is being shown again. Watch it if you can. It truly exhibits what Memorial Day is all about.
