Mantegna says the commemoration that year made clear for him the meaning of Memorial Day."I wasn't familiar with the concert I hadn't seen it at that point. I go up on the stage. In front of me is the Capitol Building, the United States Capitol, lit beautifully. The American flag is flying on top. In front of me is a live audience of about 300-thousand people."
