"TO ME, TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH THE 'WOUNDED WARRIORS'--I MEAN, OF COURSE, THIS IS GOING TO BE THE HEART OF THE SHOW.  I HEAR [THAT] THEY'RE GREAT MUSICIANS--AND I ALWAYS WANTED TO GO VISIT THE VETS IN THE HOSPITALS, AND CELEBRATE THEM, AND HONOR THEM.  AND, NOW, DOING THIS IN A MUSICAL SENSE IS REALLY EXCITING FOR ME:  TO GO AND PLAY WITH SOME OF THESE MUSICIANS, AND THEN TO GET TO BRING THEM ONSTAGE, AT THE 'CAPITOL FOURTH'--WITH HUNDREDS-OF-THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WATCHING LIVE, AND ALSO MILLIONS AT HOME--IS--I DON'T WANT TO OVERHYPE IT FOR MYSELF, BUT I THINK [THAT] IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THE GREATEST MOMENTS OF MY CAREER.  I'M GETTING CHOKED UP JUST TALKING ABOUT IT."
