Wearing a long red dress, Sanchez performed her own version of “God Bless America” to honor those who have served in the American Forces Network.
The 17-year-old “American Idol” Season 11 runner-up wowed the crowd as she belted out the high notes of the song effortlessly.
Before she appeared on stage, the concert’s hosts noted that Sanchez’s performance will be special for the young singer since her father is an Iraq war veteran and her grandfather is a US Navy veteran.
Before the concert ended, Sanchez again went onstage and joined an all-star lineup including season 12 “Idol” winner Candice Glover, “The Voice” finalist Chris Mann and “Dancing with the Stars” finalist Katherine Jenkins as they performed “America the Beautiful.”
Last year, Sanchez also graced the PBS National Memorial Day Concert as she led the singing of the American national anthem “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
