As families across America endure the repeated deployment of their military loved ones, first to Iraq and now to Afghanistan, many attempt to fill the void with Flat Daddies and Heroes on a Stick, life-sized cardboard cutouts of their husbands, wives, sons and daughters serving overseas. The award-winning documentary film "Flat Daddy" uses these two-dimensional surrogates as a connecting thread to explore the lasting impact of the war on the families left behind.
The Veterans Club, in cooperation with the Activities Department, is proud to present a benefit showing of "Flat Daddy," which features the current president of the Blue Star Mothers of Henderson and Boulder City, in Freedom Hall on Saturday afternoon, February 23rd. Watch for additional details in the near future.
