"To be on the National Memorial Day Concert and perform 'The Prayer,' it doesn’t feel like I'm there to entertain. For me personally, when I pray, whether it’s a long prayer or a short one, it just kind of sets my mind in a good place as well as my spirit," she said in a pre-recorded clip.

"Singing something like this, it feels the same. I am hoping that on this day of remembering those that have fought for this country, that we are able to remember their sacrifice, and pray that none of it was in vain," Salonga added.
