The National Memorial Day Concert has an over thirty year history on PBS of honoring our nation's veterans and their families. This year is no different. The purpose of the concert is meant to bring recognition to everyone who has given their life in service of the United States Military. Abraham Lincoln said it best when he was giving his second inaugural address, “Let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan.” We should all take a moment to remember those we have lost.
