The Army Historical Foundation invites you to enjoy a free screening of the documentary Dear Sirs: A Personal Journey Through World War II 75 Years Later on Monday May 29th either in-person at the National Army Museum or virtually via a virtual screening room.
Synopsis: Filmmaker Mark Pedri had never heard his grandfather Silvio's story despite spending nearly every day together for 10 years. It wasn't until after Silvio's death that Mark found an archive of old photos, letters, and documents detailing Silvio's journey as a Prisoner of War in World War II. The discovery inspired Mark to bike over 500 miles across Europe, following the original Prisoner of War transportation routes, in an effort to tell his grandfather's story and better understand the man who helped raise him.
