Bob Marley’s universal appeal, impact on music history, and role as a social and political prophet, is both unique and unparalleled. MARLEY is the definitive life story of the musician, revolutionary, legend, and the man, from his early days to his rise to international superstardom.

Made with the support of the Marley family, the film features rare footage, never before seen performances, previously-unreleased music, and revelatory interviews with the people that knew him best.

The showing is free & open to all. Bring your own popcorn, blankets, & chairs.

While open to all service members past & present & their families, the AAR will emphasize US Army traditions, history & legacy. The reunion tents will be organized around MOS/branch with an additional tent for sister services. This will give hundreds of Army vets & services members a chance to reconnect, share experiences & strengthen their ties to the US Army.

Live entertainment, celebrity MCs, information tables from veteran-related groups, silent auctions, a US Army vs. US Navy obstacle run, event merchandise, US Army historical presentations & other event activities are planned. Tickets are $5 per individual & $10 per family. The event is held in conjunction with other US Army birthday events in & around Philadelphia.

The Veterans Comfort House at 4108 Baltimore Ave. provides a way station for veterans & their families who are involved in treatment at the VA Hospital.
