Saturday, December 16th 

Begins at 9:30

This invitation-only program aims to broaden working relationships and encourage cooperative emergency planning and response amongst political and diplomatic leaders as well as those from local, state, federal, and private sector organizations. 

More than two decades after 9/11, the myriad of effects of sustained warfare are only beginning to come to light. Predominant narratives persist in reducing stories to simplistic binaries of Hero or Victim, Us or Them.  A new wave of military writing seeks to expand the conversation.

The SF 48 Hour Film Competition is at the Marines' Memorial Theatre.

These filmmakers have 48 hours to write, shoot, and edit a short video. It will be an evening of future creators put to the test and seeing their work on a big screen!

The Marines' Memorial Association & Foundation and the USS Hornet Museum were proud to host 95 golfers and raise over $30,000 for two great veteran institutions!

A great time was had by all, and we can't wait to do this again next year! We sincerely thank all of the sponsors who came out and supported us. And we especially thank NSight for putting together the whole event!

Thursday, September 21st 

We were privileged to have New York Times bestseller, Alex Kershaw, at Marines' Memorial, discussing his new book Against All Odds. His vivid descriptions and expansive research brought to life the journey of four servicemen from World War II.

Mr. Kershaw's natural storytelling left the crowd wanting for more and brought new details and imagery to the audience.
