Did you enjoy HBO’s hit miniseries Band of Brothers? Then you are invited to screen in the Veterans’ Memorial Hall a free showing of HBO’s follow-up miniseries, The Pacific. This will kick off an upcoming exhibit, Never Forgotten, which will feature Henry A. Courtney, who was a local Medal of Honor recipient who served in the Pacific theater.
The miniseries will be shown from May 1 – 3, 6, and 7, 2013 (five nights), in the historic Zelda Theater, located in the Lake Superior Railroad Museum. Each night episodes will begin at 6:00 PM with light snacks and soft drinks to be available. On the final day, it will be last part of the Never Forgotten exhibit opening and will begin at 7:00 PM.
Each night the historic society will be showing two episodes of HBO’s award winning miniseries, directed by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.
