Travis: A Soldier's Story Screening
Travis: A Soldier's Story is an inspiring documentary featuring the true story of United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne. Travis lost portions of both arms and legs as the result of an IED (improvised explosive device) on April 10, 2012 while on patrol during his third tour of duty in Afghanistan. Travis is one of just five quadruple-amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive such extensive injuries. The documentary may not be appropriate for children under 13. The screening will take place at Holy Family University Education and Technology Center Auditorium on January 23rd at 7:00 PM. Tickets ($10) are required. Ticket information at CBS Philly below.
