Thank you for sharing this presentation of thanks and love, and everything else that went into the production of such a beautiful and moving recital, and to the audience that gently joined in the four-part singing of 'America.' How generous to include the script as a transcript.

Thank you!

Such a perfect way to remind us of war's horror that, hopefully someday, cause us to find peace!
