About

In salute of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army on June 14, the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown will present “The American Soldier” – a theatrical performance that honors military veterans and their families.

Based on real stories and accounts from soldiers’ letters written from the American Revolution through Iraq and Afghanistan, Broadway producer and actor Douglas Taurel reveals the struggles American soldiers face at war and their internal struggles to come back home.

The one-man show sheds light on the importance of service and sacrifice, and how and why it is so difficult for men and women in the armed services to re-enter everyday life when they come home.

The performance will begin at 7 p.m.

Admission to the event is $17 per person and advance registration is required to reserve your seat.
