Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a cost to attend?

Where We Once Stood is completely free to attend. Registration is required, so be sure to secure your spot before the event reaches capacity.

Is there parking?

Parking details are still being finalized. Check back closer to the event for updates.

Are there age restrictions?

Yes. Due to the mature and sensitive nature of some content featured in Where We Once Stood, attendees must be 10 years of age or older. We appreciate your understanding as we work to share these Veterans' stories authentically and respectfully.

What should I wear?

Business casual is suggested. Military equivalent is warmly welcomed and honored. Come as you are – what matters most is that you are here.

High heels are strongly discouraged due to uneven surfaces and staircases throughout the venue. Elevators will be available for guests who need them.

Can I take photos or record during the event?

Absolutely! We encourage guests to take photos and videos throughout the event and share them on social media. However, photography, video, or recording of any kind is not permitted during the film itself. Please keep phones and cameras put away once the screening begins.

Will the Veterans featured in the film be at the screening?

Yes! Guests will have the unique opportunity to experience their stories on screen and hear from these Veterans during a live panel following the film.

What happens after I register? Will I get a confirmation email?

After submitting your registration, you'll see an on-screen confirmation that your spot has been received. You will not receive an automated confirmation email. Closer to the event, registered guests will receive a Know Before You Go email with important details and reminders.
