Join us at the National Museum of the Marine Corps’ Medal of Honor Theater for an exclusive, complimentary screening of American Sons, a profoundly intimate documentary that traces the enduring scars of war through the story of Cpl. JV Villarreal, a Mexican American Marine from Texas, killed in action in Afghanistan.
Meet a brotherhood of Marines as they struggle to overcome the trauma of combat in Afghanistan and the loss of many of their comrades, including their dear friend JV Villarreal. Now, a decade after JV's death, his brother Marines continue to reunite, helping each other cope with lingering wounds and strengthening the unbreakable bonds formed in war.
Stay after the screening for a special panel discussion featuring guests who bring personal and professional perspectives to the film’s themes:
Jennifer Brock, LPC, CCTP – Wounded Warrior Regiment, USMC
Cpl. William “Billy” Branch – Marine and fellow brother-in-arms
April Villarreal Rodriguez – Gold Star Sister
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience a moving story of Marine Corps brotherhood and take part in an important conversation about the lasting impact of war.
