Through inspiring music, the soldiers of the U.S. Army Field Band will lead a collective salute to the many heroes who have served, sacrificed, and protected the nation, as well as inspire a new generation of America’s defenders, as all reflect on the enduring spirit of America for Veterans Day.
“The U.S. Army Field Band is one of the finest ensembles of its kind, and it is an honor to bring its sound to America in this special,” said executive producer and director Habib Azar. “With Jon Stewart as our host, we honor our veterans and their service to our country in a program which is celebratory and entertaining.”
