Veterans Day Ceremony at NVMM

On November 11th, actor Matthew Modine will join us as our keynote speaker for our annual Veterans Day ceremony. Modine may be best known for his role as Private/Sergeant J.T. “Joker” Davis, the central character of Stanley Kubrick’s Vietnam War film, Full Metal Jacket. The NVMM is currently hosting Modine’s exhibition, titled “Matthew Modine’s Full Metal Jacket Diary,” a collection of photographs he captured during the filming of the 1987 Vietnam War film classic.

Modine shared the Venice Film Festival‘s Volpi Cup for Best Actor as part of the ensemble cast of Robert Altman film Streamers (1983). He went on to play lead roles in several high-profile films throughout the 1980s, including Birdy (1984), Vision Quest (1985), and Married to the Mob (1988).

Modine has been nominated twice for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television and has received a special Golden Globe for him and the rest of the ensemble in Short Cuts.

Our Veterans Day ceremony is free, but advance registration is required. You can reserve your ticket here.
