Blue Star Card holders started lining up around 4:30 p.m. at Martinez Fitness Center, here.
They were eager to get their spot near the stage to enjoy well-known musical hits.
Community members walked to the gym from throughout post to enjoy this free concert, compliments of the USO, TriWest Healthcare Alliance and the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation.

"You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman," according to Heather Orr, "was awesome. The band did a wonderful job!"
After the concert was over, Sinise took photos with Blue Star Card holders, stage and setup crews, and military police.
Blue Star Card holder Kate Bathkey was ecstatic about getting an autograph and photos with Sinise.
"We need more ladies nights out, without the kids," Bathkey said. "We are so happy that MWR provides these types of programs while our Soldiers are away."
Near the end of the concert, as Sinise saluted the room full of Soldiers and family members, he said he "could never repay them for all that they do," but sincerely thanks the military and family members for their service. A-"A?
