Inpop Records' pop/rock band Newsboys will perform at The Pentagon's sixth annual memorial service to be held in The Pentagon Auditorium on Sept. 11. The multi-faith service will honor those who gave their lives at The Pentagon and elsewhere on 9/11, and will include members of the armed forces as well as government employees and their families. Additionally, the band will host a concert immediately following for all Pentagon employees. "The events of 9/11 touched us all, and the willing sacrifices of the men and women of our armed forces to defend the United States is truly awe-inspiring," said Peter Furler, lead vocalist of Newsboys. "We are honored and humbled to have been asked to be a part of the memorial service at The Pentagon this year, and we hope our music and message will be an inspiration to all those who attend."
"Newsboys' music is incredible and reaches across the lines to so many different people," said Chaplain (Maj.) Alan Pomaville of The Pentagon Chaplain's Office. "I believe that many people will be blessed as a result of hearing their music."
