Host Blair Underwood introduces short vignettes that pay tribute to each branch of the military and honors the experiences of men and women in uniform. Recorded in May 2010 at the Music Center at Strathmore, in Bethesda, Md., this year's concert features musical performances by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter (and former Chicago frontman) Peter Cetera, country music band Lonestar and former American Idol finalist Melinda Doolittle. In addition, the Air Force Band and orchestra, along with the Singing Sergeants, perform a mix of rousing patriotic songs and contemporary hits.
