America's veterans will be honored with "Victory at Sea" arranged by Bennett, "South Pacific" arranged by Lang, "Over There: A Selection of American World War Songs" arranged by Lake, and "American Patrol" by Meacham.

"The Fourth of July" by Cacavas and "The Ultimate Patriotic Sing-Along by Brubaker," with song leader T.J. Sneddon, have all the patriotic favorites.
