Hosted by four-time Grammy-nominated artist Mickey Guyton, “Salute to Service 2024: A Veterans Day Celebration” features performances from musical guests including country legend Craig Morgan, nine-time Grammy-winning bassist Christian McBride, trombone-playing singer-songwriter Aubrey Logan, and active-duty soldiers from the United States Army Field Band and their musical ensembles — the Six-String Soldiers, the Jazz Ambassadors, the Concert Band, and the Soldiers’ Chorus who pay tribute to all six branches of America’s Armed Forces.

“Hosting the Veterans Day celebration is an incredible honor.
