Your service men and women are less than 1% of the nation. That less than 1% have given up all that they are and all that they are going to be. Families are still grieving, they are still mourning and they always will.

We proudly support our military community. About 20% of our 116,000 employees are veterans, reservists, or military spouses. We’re committed to empowering veterans in their transition to the civilian sector and honoring their legacy of service.

They will be joined by a cast of top musical and dramatic artists, all in performance with the National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of top pops conductor Jack Everly.

We’re proud to partner with Capital Concerts, PBS and the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, and others to honor service members and their families through uplifting musical performances, documentary footage and dramatic readings.
