NAS OCEANA, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. (July 18, 2011) - In appreciation of their service, members of the United States Navy and their families will be treated to a special exclusive screening of Warner Bros. Pictures' "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2," the finale of the blockbuster film franchise, which opened nationwide on July 15, 2011.
As part of the Joining Forces initiative, First Lady Michelle Obama will be in attendance to thank the members of the military and their families. While there, she will also introduce the film.
The screening is only open to members of the military and their families.
About Joining Forces:
Joining Forces is a national initiative that mobilizes all sectors of society to give our service members and their families the opportunities and support they have earned. First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden have met with military families, learned about their successes and challenges, and made it their priority to support them. Joining Forces provides ways for all Americans to step up and show their gratitude to our service members and their families.
Through this effort, Mrs. Obama and Dr. Biden ask Americans to do more for those who have done so much for us. They are highlighting outstanding American citizens, communities, and businesses that are supporting our troops and making commitments to serve our nation's military families. They are asking Americans to get involved in any way they can.

It would totally make sense for them to present this to the Navy, considering the fact that they have fought in war and their families have gone through so many ups and downs. They may have lost of loved ones as well. I think for them it'll be an emotional and most certainly a unique experience watching this since they can sort of relate to the characters and come to know how similar the real world is to fiction where evil exists.

Fair point, but as it's a stateside Naval base and the screening is open to servicemen and their families, I think there will be plenty of interested parties around.
It is good that they are doing that for my Navy people, I've been in the Navy for 7 years now. Im an IT (Information Systems Technician) and work out here in Hawaii. Which is a downside to this post since their not going to do anything special for all commands and states. But it is good that they are coming together to do this for my fellow shipmates!
