Hands That Heal, Hearts That Serve is a tribute film honoring the legacy of the Medical Corps.
A powerful and moving presentation, the film tells a story of sacrifice, service, and remembrance in ways words alone cannot. Across every war and every generation, when freedom was tested, healing hands answered the call. From the earliest days of our nation, military doctors and nurses have served on a different front—one defined not by weapons, but by compassion and resolve. In the quiet moments between life and loss, often with limited resources, they built a lasting legacy of care, courage, and hope.
Join us for this special screening on Monday, May 25, 2026 at 10:00 AM at the Veterans Memorial Museum in Laurel, MS.
