The majority of Americans are likely going to celebrate Memorial Day Weekend with barbecues, beach time and happily being off work, but there's obviously much more to the annual commemoration than simply being the unofficial start of summer. It's a time to honor the country’s veterans, servicemen and women and military families, which is just what the National Memorial Day Concert will do tonight on PBS.
The 35th annual broadcast of America's national night of remembrance, the concert will be held on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. and will air live from 8pm to 9:30pm Eastern Time on PBS on Sunday, May 26. The livestream of the National Memorial Day Concert will be available on the PBS website, the National Memorial Day Concert Facebook page, the PBS YouTube channel and the PBS app. It will also be broadcast to American troops serving around the world on the American Forces Network.
