Katie is to appear in the PBS National Memorial Day concert which is taking place this Sunday, May 24 at the United States Capitol and airs live on PBS from 8-9:30 PM (ET).

One of the features in this year’s concert will be the story of wounded soldiers. Katie Holmes and Dianne Wiest will join concert co-host Gary Sinise for a segment about the families of disabled vets. Sinise will narrate the story including how the soldier, Jose Pequeno, sustained a devastating traumatic brain injury in Iraq and was written off for dead. Dianne Wiest and Katie Holmes will then do a dramatic presentation of the story as told through the perspective of Jose’s mother, Nellie Bagley (played by Wiest) and his sister, Elizabeth (played by Holmes).
