WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 2026 — This Veterans Day, as the nation commemorates 250 years of the courage, service and sacrifice of our military men and women, Capital Concerts is pleased to welcome back Lockheed Martin as lead corporate sponsor of the 2027 NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT. Broadcast live from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol, the beloved annual evening of remembrance will honor America's heroes and pay tribute to all who have given their lives in service to our nation, through powerful storytelling, stirring tributes and musical salutes.
"We are grateful for Lockheed Martin's longstanding support of the NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT," said Michael Colbert, President and Executive Producer of Capital Concerts. "Together, we are committed to ensuring that the stories of our veterans, service members, military families, and all those who died in defense of our freedoms are never forgotten."

The commitment and sacrifice of these brave men and women inspires our work every day at Lockheed Martin."
One in five Lockheed Martin employees has a direct connection to the military—veterans, active-duty service members, military spouses, dependents, and caregivers. Lockheed Martin's charitable investments are made to causes that support service members, veterans, and their families, striving to make a positive impact on the lives of those who have served our nation, while never forgetting those who made the ultimate sacrifice to secure our freedoms.
