@ReneeFleming performs "You'll Never Walk Alone" as a tribute to our troops and their families. To every service member and every family waiting for them at home: you'll never walk alone.

This Veterans Day month, we're grateful for all who serve, and for the families who stand beside them.

At the 2003 A Capitol Fourth, the legendary country music performer and philanthropist @DollyParton performed "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," dedicated to the wounded warriors of Walter Reed. More than two decades later, the message still rings true: we welcome our service members home, and we never forget what they gave. #VeteransDay #VeteransAndMilitaryFamiliesMonth #DollyParton #ACapitolFourth

They were called the Greatest Generation, and they never asked for credit.

At the 2025 A Capitol Fourth, @JoshTurnerMusic performed "Unsung Hero", written to honor his late grandfather, Drexel Turner, a World War II Army frontline medic and Purple Heart recipient who was wounded while driving an ambulance under enemy fire.

We are eternally grateful to the members of the Greatest Generation for their service and sacrifices.

Once a soldier, always a soldier.

At the 2017 A Capitol Fourth, country music singer @TraceAdkins performed "Still a Soldier," a song that recognizes that once you serve in the military, you never stop being a soldier. Veterans show up for their families, their communities, and each other, long after their last day in uniform.
