A local real
estate company and the local chapter of the Friends of the NRA are teaming up
to offer a free (but by reservation only) showing of the film “American Sniper.”
The popcorn
will be on your own.
This single,
one-time free showing is set for 6:30 p.m., Monday, January19 at the Atlas
Great Lakes Mall Cinema 16, 7860 Mentor Ave., Mentor, Ohio.
It is
intended as a fund-raising project for local Maine Daniel Hanson, who served
three tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.
Hanson injured
his spine during one of his tours and also suffers from post-traumatic stress
disorder, or PTSD.
While the
Veterans Administration is treating Hanson for his PTSD, such is not the case for
his physical injuries.
Consequently,
Hanson must undergo rehabilitation and treatment not covered by his VA
benefits.
Hanson needs
these services in order to return to work so as to support his wife and two
young children, says Kim Moss of the Owens Group which is representing the Platinum
Real Estate Company and its “Hero Fund.”
“American
Sniper” is a current Warner Brothers movie that stars Bradley Cooper and Sienna
Miller. It tells the story of Navy SEAL Chris Kayle, acclaimed as the most
lethal sniper in U.S. history. The film was directed by Clint Eastwood.
The film has
already won the National Board of Reviews’ Best Director Award for Eastwood and
the Denver Film Critics’ Best Actor Award for Cooper, among other honors.
Entry to the
movie is complimentary, provided by Platinum Real Estate, Commerce Firearms
Training Academy, and the Western Reserve Friends of the NRA.
Seating is
limited and the deadline for ticket requests is Thursday, January 15. Yep,
tomorrow. RSVP via e-mail only to Sara@MyPlatinumRealEstate.com.
Donations
for Hanson’s rehabilitation efforts will be accepted at the showing as well as
through the web site, www.GoFundMe.com/DanielHansonMarine.
