“Honor in the Air” Movie Screening

Wisconsin Veterans Museum 30 W. Mifflin St, Madison, WI, United States

Join us for a movie screening and discussion of Honor in the Air. It is a story of inspiration, dedication, valor and love, following the life of one soldier and those with whom he served. Wisconsin native, Captain Scott Alwin, served as a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War with the 68th Assault Helicopter Company. He earned a record 136 Air Medals, but more important, he earned the respect of the men he served with and the love of a Vietnamese woman who became his wife. Scott Alwin was from Ft. Atkinson, attended UW-Madison for his undergrad degree, and is buried in Marathon County (Hamburg). Admission is free. Seating is limited to 60. Please RSVP here.
