Watch the National Memorial Day Concert (PBS) on Sunday, May 24 at 8 p.m. with an immediate replay at 9:30 p.m. on WITF! 🇺🇸

Tony Award-nominated star of stage and screen and proud daughter of a U.S. Marine, Mary McCormack, will join Gary Sinise to co-host the 37th annual National Memorial Day Concert on Sunday, May 24, on PBS, honoring our service members and paying tribute to all who have given their lives in service to our nation. McCormack steps in this year for longtime host Joe Mantegna.
“What makes this concert so powerful is the way it tells the larger story of service and sacrifice,” said McCormack. “It reminds us of what military service asks of individuals and families, and how much gratitude we owe them. I’m honored to join as co-host of this year’s broadcast. It’s one of the most meaningful projects I’ve ever been a part of, and I wouldn’t miss it for anything.”

Tune in Sunday, May 24, 8/7c on PBS . Bookmark the link in our bio.
