Mighty Eighth Welcomes Dr. Don Miller for Documentary Showing at Lucas

Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Tuesday, June 6th, 2017

75 years ago as hundreds of thousands of young men shipped off in the name of America and Uncle Sam, they had no idea what the future held for them. We now know when the war was over and they were victorious, they would return to parades and cheers. But what came after that?

The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force presents the HBO and Tom Hanks production, He Has Seen War at the Lucas Theater, June 23, 2017. The hour long documentary takes an in-depth look at the reality facing these men when they came home. It features the veterans of Easy Company and the 1st Marine Division and was created as a companion to the award winning HBO miniseries, Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

Renowned author and historian, Dr. Donald L. Miller, will be present at the show to talk about the film. Miller was a writer and associate producer for it and appears in it, discussing what kind of struggles the men faced when they returned.

Doors open at 7 pm at the Lucas Theater (32 Abercorn Street, Savannah) and show starts at 8 pm with Q&A after the film. Entrance to He Has Seen War is free and the program is being sponsored in part by Gulfstream Aerospace Corp.
