We Will Remember: A Tribute to Veterans Cast

Civil War Soldier

Bob Sheehan is honored by the opportunity to give voice to those who have fought for our freedoms. Bob thanks his fellow actors, Director Aaron Washington, and the Center for the opportunity to participate. Special thanks to Bob’s acting teacher. Hopefully the film lifts the audience to a special Veteran’s Day observance.
