Theaters schedule Veterans Day screenings nationwide

Communities across the country marked Veterans Day with ceremonies and events honoring service members, including free or special movie screenings. In Sanford, Florida, a ceremony recognized local veterans and Edna Cross Burton, who served in the all-Black, all-female 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion; a free screening of Tyler Perry’s film about the unit followed. Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor and Waynesboro Theatre in Pennsylvania offered free movie admission to veterans, with Ann Arbor also extending the offer to active-duty personnel. In Springfield, Ohio, the State Theater hosted a paid screening of “Easy Rider: The Ride Back” alongside Marine Corps birthday activities and veteran recognitions, with proceeds benefiting the Gary Sinise Foundation.
