National Geographic's The Long Road Home, which was filmed on Fort Hood, will host a premiere screening for soldiers and their families Oct. 27 at 6 p.m. inside the Abrams Gym.
The complete mini-series premieres on National Geographic at 8 p.m. Central Time on Nov. 7.
Actors Noel Fisher, Sarah Wayne Callies, EJ Bonilla, Jon Beavers, Jorge Diaz, Ian Quinlan and Darius Homayoun will attend the screening on post, along with ABC News Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz, who authored the book on which the series was based.
