In July of this year millions across the country were blown away when the 82nd Airborne Division All-American Chorus appeared on the talent show America’s Got Talent, impressing the judges and making it to this month’s semifinals.

Guests:
SSG Marcus Gilbert, U.S. Army
SGT Damarielis Vargas, U.S. Army
