Chesapeake Beach, MD – Thousands of U.S. Veterans across the nation have visited the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. for free, thanks to the leadership of an organization called Honor Flight and its many supporters. Now the inspiring story of Honor Flight has been made into a documentary movie, “Honor Flight, The Movie.” The Stallings-Williams American Legion Post 206 and Calvert Hospice are proud to co-sponsor a screening of the film in Calvert County.
The 90-minute film will be shown Friday, February 6, 2015 at the Stallings-Williams American Legion Post 206 located at 3330 Chesapeake Beach Road in Chesapeake Beach. A dinner will be hosted (reservations recommended) at $10 a plate prior to the film at 5:30 p.m. and the film will begin at 7 p.m. The event is open to the general public. Registration for the film-only (FREE) is not required, but encouraged for groups, so adequate accommodations will be provided. This event is not limited to military or Post members. Primary contact is Andy Charland, Post Service Officer, at 301-855-6466 or achar182@comast.net regarding the meal or bringing a group to the film.

“We hope individuals, families, Veteran Service Organizations, nursing homes and long term care providers, Senior Centers, faith communities, scouting groups and others will come out for this heart-warming, inspirational film,” says Calvert Hospice’s Executive Director, Brenda Laughhunn. Laughhunn adds, “America’s Veterans have done everything asked of them in their mission to serve our country, and we believe it is never too late to give them a hero’s welcome home. We are proud to collaborate with the Stallings-Williams American Legion Post 206 in bringing this message to our Calvert County Veterans.” Information about American Legion Post 206 and Calvert Hospice’s “We Honor Veterans” program and other services will be available.
