Comcast NBCUniversal Memorial Salute presented in partnership by Welcome America is the Pops' first public live performance in over a year. The POPS lit up the Mann Center for the Performing Arts Saturday.
The POPS also are offering this recording of the event for you to enjoy on demand -- and to honor those who sacrificed their lives for our country.
