Members of WL209 and a friend and family member or two viewed the documentary “Brothers After War,” on August 8, 2026, at the Delta Shores Regal Theater in Sacramento. It tells of the lasting effects of deployments experienced by service members and their families. A free lunch was provided and there was a meaningful discussion afterward hosted by the film’s maker, Jacob Rademacher, and a local veteran. Veterans’ advocacy group, the Gary Sinise Foundation, provided support for this series of national seminars. Sinise is also the executive producer of the film. Afterward, WL209 members gathered at a restaurant for some more discussion, laughter and bonding.
