About this Event

In recognition of Veterans Day, Operation Warrior Resolution (OWR) will introduce the 1986 original Top Gun film.

Come early to meet and play yard games with OWR members before the movie. Veterans will also enjoy a special discount on food and beverages at The Nest Café.

For an extra way to take part, register for the 6:00pm yoga practice led by OWR and U.S. Navy Veteran Dan Bue before settling in for the movie under the stars.

[PG] At the Navy’s elite Top Gun fighter school, hotshot pilot Maverick (Tom Cruise) pushes limits with his skill, swagger and reckless streak — putting him at odds with rival pilot Iceman.
