The First Special Service Force and Helena
6:30 PM
Montana Historical Society (east of the Capitol)
Description:
Learn how an elite force of American and Canadian soldiers came to Helena in 1942 to train for special operations in World War II and formed a bond with the community that lasted a lifetime. While these men are known collectively as the Devil's Brigade, to many in Helena they are simply called "Dad" or "Granddad." Join history teacher, historical playwright, and curator of the Jefferson County Museum Terri Atwood as she shares the personal tales of these brave soldiers whose story is bigger than anything Hollywood could have imagined.
