Soldier Throwing Medal Wednesday, February 27, 7:00pm - 10:00pm
Cinema Theater, 957 S. Clinton Ave.
A film showing and panel discussion with local Vietnam and Iraq War Veterans
"These are times that try men’s souls", wrote Thomas Paine, who turned not to sunshine patriots, but rather to winter soldiers who would stand up, even in its darkest hours, for the soul of their country.
In this spirit, hundreds of Vietnam War veterans stood up, risking everything at a 1971 Winter Soldier Investigation. This film documents personal, candid testimony of countless, amoral acts observed and committed by our soldiers, which we learn are the inexorable result of national policy.
Winter Soldier Once again March 13-16 in Washington DC, the Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) will be holding their own Winter Soldier Event.
Join us in deepening our understanding of these momentous events with a panel discussion and film showing.
