At 6:30 p.m., join a community conversation about the evening’s film, facilitated by History Center staff, local veterans, and other members of the community where we’ll talk about what the movie gets right, where it falls short, and how that impacts public understanding of the Vietnam War.

ABOUT THE FILM – “WE WERE SOLDIERS”

Originally released in 2002 and based upon the best-selling book “We Were Soldiers Once … and Young” by Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore (Ret.) and journalist Joseph L. Galloway, this compelling war drama depicts the story of the first major battle between the United States and North Vietnamese forces.
