Tonight, you'll hear their stories".

Later in the show, Jennifer returned to the stage to perform a cover of David Guetta's "Titanium" with "Bang Bang" sensation Jessie J.

The performance capped off a fun-filled visit to the nation's capitol where she stopped by The White House and posed for a few SCANDAL-styled photos. She tweeted, "I sincerely enjoy this and every moment I get to stop and show my respect and appreciation to our real life super heroes! You are the heart, the core and the future of this country and others! Thank you never seems like enough when I'm saying it to people risking and giving their lives for us everyday, but THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts! #1Love #Concert4VALOR"
