The “Sing a Song of America” show will take place at the Salisbury VA Medical Center, bringing a new stage presentation to hospitalized veterans and their guests March 3 at 2 p.m. in the Building 6 Social Room.
The group represents Re-Creation USA Inc., which provides a national program of live entertainment for America’s hospitalized veterans in VA Medical Centers and state veterans homes.
“Sing a Song of America” spotlights great songs and great stars as America’s young ambassadors to hospitalized veterans focus on this nation’s best loved music. Expect vocal renditions enlivened by dance and choreography.
