Cohan's "Star Spangled Spectacular;" "God Bless the U.S.A." by Lee Greenwood; and appropriately, all veterans will be applauded during the "Armed Forces Salute" by Richard Hayman.

Soprano soloist Evelyn Stewart will enhance Wilhousky's "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "God Bless America" in addition to leading the National Anthem.
