Veterans Documentary Film Premiere
Thursday, October 9, 2025
Armed Forces Retirement Home - Washington, D.C.
On October 9, 2025, we’ll welcome guests to a special red-carpet premiere—an evening that shines a spotlight on courage, sacrifice, and community.
A short documentary, created by TaleGate, captures the voices and memories of residents at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, D.C. Filmed both on campus and at iconic landmarks around our nation’s capital, it’s a heartfelt tribute to their military service and the journeys that brought them to the nation’s oldest home for enlisted veterans.
We’re raising funds to help cover:
Final production costs for the documentary
Event expenses for the premiere at the AFRH theater
A meaningful celebration after the screening honoring the veterans whose stories are featured
Event sponsors will be invited to attend a pre-screening "green room" reception to celebrate those who were critical to bringing this film to life.
After the film, residents, guests, and supporters will come together for a community celebration, sharing conversation, connection, and appreciation.
Any funds raised above the film and event costs will go directly to the Old Soldiers Home Foundation to support programs that improve quality of life and excellence at AFRH.
Let’s give these veterans a premiere worthy of their service—and ensure their stories inspire for years to come.
Seats are limited, so reserve your space below!
