They're back! Movies on Deck returned June 25

Lights! Camera! Action!

Movies on Deck returned to USS LST 393 this summer for a limited engagement.

After a pandemic pause, the popular film series resumed Friday, June 25, with the World War II blockbuster “Dunkirk.” The action adventure “Jumanji” was screened Friday, July 16, and the all-time classic “Toy Story” delighted all ages Aug. 6.

The movies start at dark (usually about 10 p.m.) and audience members are asked to bring their own seating and observe safety spacing rules. The movies are shown rain or shine because of an indoor big screen.
