My family was invited to a red carpet screening of "American Identity" by a good friend Martha at Entertainment Post. Her husband and his friends who are active duty Marines attended as well. My family enjoyed the film and the people we met there.
The Premiere of "American Identity" was to Honor Our Troops & Support Families Of Fallen Soldiers
The evening included a special message from President Barack Obama:
“We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment—a moment that will define a generation—it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.” ~ President Barack Obama
Melissa Gilbert, Jon Voight and other Hollywood notables joined the American Identity stars Todd Allen, Jesse Garcia, Ileana Oliver, Allen Nabors, Marshall Teague and Jon Paul for an evening that honored the men and women of the United States military, and the families who support them.
American Identity, was written and directed by Stephen Rollins. American Identity follows the lives of two soldiers, best friends, who are sent to Afghanistan following the attacks of September 11th and portrays the impact on their families as these events unfold.
The evening benefited the Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund, a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization that provides college grants and financial assistance to surviving children and spouses of our U.S. military service members who have lost their lives in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. http://www.cfsrf.org/
