    Movie Night: 'Memorial Day'

    Thursday, November 12, 2015
    7:00 pm
    McGann Conference Center

    In honor of Veterans Awareness Week, the Student Veterans of America and the History Club will be co-sponsoring the screening of Memorial Day.

    When SSgt. Kyle Vogel leaves a handwritten letter on the seat of his car, grabs a pistol and steps into a Minnesota forest, we wonder who he is and what he’s about to do. Flash back a few months as Vogel lies wounded in a hospital near Anbar Province, Iraq. The night before he’s due to return to combat, his doctor, Lt. Kelly Tripp, presses him on why he’s so obsessed with collecting battle souvenirs. Kyle proceeds to tell her what happened on Memorial Day, 1993, when, as a 13-year old boy, he discovered his Grandpa Bud’s WWII footlocker.

    Admission is free; refreshments will be provided. For more information, contact Elyse Quirk at [email protected].
