Today (and hopefully everyday) we thank and honor the military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. We thank you for your service and dedication to our country and the humans who inhabit it.

The Poulsbo Film Festival was honored to select and screen the film SOLDIER Documentary at the event this year.

SOLDIER focuses on Daniel Krug: a heroic firefighter, father of five, SWAT trainer and armored combat enthusiast. Daniel is also a former sniper, with ten years of combat, security, rescue and recovery experience in Iraq. And over the past decade, he's lost 11 of his close military friends - and almost lost himself - to PTSD.

A film by Justin Zimmerman.

Please watch and share.
