Film Festival Honors DAV
By Rob Lewis

The DAV and the veterans it serves
were among those honored at the
second annual GI Film Festival held at
the Carnegie Institute in Washington,
D.C. from May 14-18.
The GI Film Festival is the first in
the nation dedicated solely to celebrating
the success and sacrifices of the
American military through the medium
of film. Guests this year included
Gary Sinise, Robert Duvall, Dale Dye,
Stephen Baldwin and
WWE legend Ric Flair.
At the festival, Past National Commander
Jim Sursely had the honor of
introducing Gary Sinise to a packed
house before the screening of the documentary
film “Brothers at War.”

Just to let you know how much Jim enjoys his life here's a picture of him on one of his famous hunting trips and yes, in his wheel chair, along with Dennis Joyner, also a triple amputee.


But they were joined by others welcomed by the National Guard at Camp Ripley.
