Battle of Midway Veterans React To MIDWAY Feature Film
“In the wake of Japan’s 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, Sgt. 1st Class Edgar Fox, USMC (Ret.), FE, Jack Holder, USN (Ret.), PO3, Robert Taylor USN (Ret.), CPO, Henry Kudzick, USN (Ret.) fought in the World War II Battle of Midway, the greatest naval battle of all time.
With no promise of survival, they confronted the physical and mental cost of warfare to fight for our freedom. These four surviving veterans were among the first to watch the film MIDWAY.
Based on the real-life events at the Battle of Midway, starring Ed Skrein, Patrick Wilson, Luke Evans, Aaron Eckhart and Nick Jonas, with Mandy Moore, Dennis Quiad and Woody Harrelson, MIDWAY is in theaters on Friday.”
