Join me @KylemcmahonMe of Pop Culture Weekly as I speak with co-hosts Esai Morales (Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning) and Gary Sinise at the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol for the National Memorial Day Concert 2025.
In this deeply moving interview, Esai Morales shares why participating in the concert is his "humble way to focus attention on real heroes" who have "given it all." Gary Sinise reflects on the true meaning of Memorial Day Weekend, emphasizing the crucial need to remember and honor those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom.
Gary also opens up about a very personal and poignant moment at this year's concert: the inclusion of his late son Mac's musical composition, performed by the National Symphony Orchestra. Hear him share how this beautiful tribute connects his son's legacy to the very heart of the Memorial Day message.
This segment is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made for our nation and the enduring spirit of remembrance.
Don't miss the National Memorial Day Concert 2025, airing live on PBS, Facebook, and YouTube on Sunday, May 25th at 8 PM ET! It will also be available on demand for two weeks following the live broadcast.
