HAMPTON ROADS, Va. — Composer Stephen Melillo and Retired Rear Admiral Erik Ross join Coast Live to discuss a special upcoming performance in recognition of those who serve in our nation's military. In their words:

"On Friday, April 21 in the Little Creek “Gator” Theater on the Little Creek Navy Base, 150 Student Musicians traveling from New York will offer a special Concert Event/Tribute to our Defenders of Freedom.

The work, 'Beyond Courage, Kakehashi: That We Might Live. Then. Now. Always—A Documentary in Music,' tells the story of those who were surrendered and sacrificed in Bataan & Corregidor at the onset of WWII. Though specific to WWII in the Pacific, the work is nevertheless a strong reminder about the Price of Freedom and is dedicated to all of our Veterans and Active Duty."
