The Voice Season 14 Finalist Spensha Baker Joins All-Star Line-Up For PBS' National Memorial Day Concert An American Tradition Honoring Our Heroes
New York, NY (Top40 Charts / Capital Concerts) On the 150th anniversary of Memorial Day, PBS' multi award-winning NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT welcomes THE VOICE Season 14 finalist Spensha Baker, to open the show with a special performance of the "National Anthem," honoring the service and sacrifice of all our men and women in uniform, their families at home and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. A 29-year tradition unlike anything else on television, America's national night of remembrance takes us back to the real meaning of the holiday through personal stories interwoven with musical performances.

"For me the 'National Anthem' is as symbolic as it gets when it comes to America," said Baker. "The fact that my parents served and defended this great nation instilled into me the love and national pride for America, our military and their families. The 'National Anthem' gives me the opportunity to show my unwavering love to those who served in our great military and for those who are sacrificing and serving today. The 'National Anthem' invokes pride, patriotism and honor within me. It's an iconic symbol of this nation that can be shared with everyone, no matter what your background is. The 'National Anthem' is America....The 'National Anthem' is me. I love this country!!"

The 29 annual broadcast of the NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT will recognize our Korean War veterans; mark the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Khe Sanh, one of the fiercest battles of the Vietnam War; and pay tribute to the contributions of women in our military throughout history.
