Special Showing of "Escape from Firebase Kate"

By Rick Martin

Join Americans for Prosperity and Concerned Veterans for America as we screen "Escape from Firebase Kate" on the National Geographic Giant Screen Theater.

This one-hour documentary recounts the events of an intense three-day siege during the Vietnam War in 1969. US. Army Special Forces Captain William Albracht, a 21-year-old from Illinois, is assigned command of Firebase Kate, making him the youngest commanding officer in Vietnam.

Doors at the Putnam will open at 5:30 pm with light appetizers. The documentary will begin at 6:30 pm followed by a Q&A with Capt. William Albracht and historian Ken Moffett.

This will be the first time the documentary has been shown on the big screen locally and tickets are free to the public.
