Pequeno, his sister, Elizabeth, and his mother, Nellie Bagley, will be in the audience. Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna co-host. 'It's important to tell these stories and honor the sacrifice and service of these men and women and their families,' says Holmes, who has never worked with the armed forces community before. 'It's a real gift to be able to portray an American of such strength. I'm excited. I want to do justice to her story.' She'll get help re-enacting a veteran's family from an acting veteran, Dianne Wiest, who tapped her to participate in the concert and with whom she co-starred in the Broadway production of All My Sons."
