Gretchen Wilson is set to perform at the Freedom 250 National Memorial Day Candlelight Tribute at Arlington National Cemetery on May 25.

The evening of storytelling honoring men and women have served the United States is being held as part of America’s 250th anniversary, and the national tribute will serve as a moment of remembrance.

“I am overwhelmed to have been asked to honor the fallen heroes and their families this Memorial Day. What a sacred place, I pray I do it justice,” says Wilson.

The evening will serve as a national tribute to America’s fallen heroes through storytelling, music, remembrance, and reflection. Throughout the evening, attendees will learn about the lives and legacies of American heroes.

The program will honor Medal of Honor recipient, West Point graduate, and Vietnam prisoner of war Captain Humbert “Rocky” Versace. The evening will also pay tribute to Captain Daniel W. Eggers, a U.S. Army Special Forces officer, Green Beret, and West Point graduate who gave his life in Afghanistan while serving alongside Afghan commandos in support of Operation Freedom’s Sentinel.

Veteran and national security leader Jason Beardsley, Major General Patrick Henry Brady, acclaimed historian Dr. Mark Moyar, and members of the Eggers family will also offer a reflection on service, sacrifice, and the enduring cost of freedom.
