America's national night of remembrance live from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol brings us together as one family of Americans to honor the service of generations of our men and women in uniform, our military families, with a special Semiquincentennial segment honoring all those who have given their lives in service to our nation since its founding 250 years ago. Hosted by Tony Award-winner Joe Mantegna and Emmy Award-winner Gary Sinise, the 2026 concert features personal stories and tributes interwoven with musical performances by world-renowned artists and the National Symphony Orchestra to commemorate the real meaning of the holiday.
