SUMMARY:Vietnam Wall scaled replica comes to Soldier Field June 2016
DESCRIPTION:UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS BRINGS A SCALED VERSION OF THE VIETNAM WALL TO CHICAGO\, ILLINOIS\nCHICAGO\, IL- Veterans and active duty members of America’s Armed Services travel great distances and make great sacrifices to preserve and protect freedom and liberty\, the scaled replica of the Vietnam Wall is just one way we can remember the sacrifices of those that gave all during the Vietnam War. The United States Marine Corps invites you visit the wall when it visits Chicago\, Illinois at Soldier’s Field from June 23-26\, 2016. The event opens at 2pm on Thursday\, June 23rd and is open 24/7 through Sunday\, June 26th at 3pm. The Opening Ceremony is scheduled for Friday\, June 24th at 10am. \nThe United States Marine Corps brings this wall to you as a part of its Commemorative Plan to remember the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. The United States Marine Corps is a Commemorative Partner of the Office of the Secretary of Defense’s Vietnam Commemoration Office. One of the objectives of this office is to thank and honor veterans of the Vietnam War\, including personnel who were held as prisoners of war (POW)\, or listed as missing in action (MIA)\, for their service and sacrifice on behalf of the United States and to thank and honor the families of these veterans. \nThe wall is an 80 percent scale version of the Vietnam Wall in Washington\, D.C.

SUMMARY:Steppenwolf Veteran's Play and Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Members planning to attend must RSVP to the Women Veteran’s Center at (872) 731-2150 or nwvu.org@gmail.com \nVETERANS NIGHT PERFOMANCE\nWednesday June 22nd 2016\nIn the Downstairs Theatre \nAuthor: Stephen Adly Guirgis \nDirected by: ensemble member Yasen Peyankov \nFeatured Ensemble Members\nTim Hopper\, James Vincent Meredith \nThe Cast\nVictor Almanzar\, Elena Flores\, Audrey Francis\, Lily Mojekwu\, Eamonn Walker \nOVERVIEW\nFrom the wildly original author of The Motherf**ker with the Hat.\nEx-cop “Pops” Washington and his ex-con son Junior are barely holding on to one of the last great rent stabilized apartments in Manhattan. Pops has his hands (not to mention his apartment) full as he navigates a steady stream of sketchy houseguests and sweats out the impending verdict on his law suit against the police department. A celebration of the glorious contradictions that make up human nature\, this rowdy dark comedy looks at the slippery nature of justice\, and the grit it takes to finally move on. \nPlease remember this is an invite for Veterans only\, NO PERSON UNDER THE AGE OF 18 will be allowed for the dinner or the performance. \n*** Please note the content warnings ***\nThere is drug & alcohol use by some of the characters. There is also a brief sexual contact scene. \nParking is available at the theatre 1650 N. Halsted (please bring attached voucher) \nDoors open for dinner: 6:00 pm in Yondorf Rehearsal Hall (758 W. North Ave.\, 2nd Floor) \nTheatre Doors Open: 7:00 pm in the Downstairs Theatre (1650 N. Halsted\, 1\nst Floor) \nPerformance begins: 7:30 pm in the Downstairs Theatre \nRun-time for show: Approximately 2 ½ hours
