Join us for a powerful theatrical production that honors the bravery and sacrifices of American soldiers. The American Soldier is a one-man drama that explores the struggles of soldiers at war and their journey to return home and reintegrate into civilian life. This is also a great opportunity for unenrolled Veterans to learn about VA health care options, receive enrollment assistance on-site, and bring their DD-214 to help with the process.
