EVENTS 2023
Gold Star Film Screenings
On May 10, join SDIT and other organizations for this film festival at the Daughters of the American Revolution Constitution Hall in Washington, DC.
Each of these films shares a message of resilience and triumph as Gold Star Families confront the tragedies of war. Though the Vietnam War is the subject of these films, the underlying messages apply to wars and conflicts that occurred before and after America’s 20 years of conflict in SE Asia.
