The crowds at the movie got to meet a real life hero! I really want to see this movie.
"The people who came out to see the Calgary premier of āDunkirkā Friday night thought they were just going to see a film. As Global News reports, they also saw a bit of real history as 97-year-old veteran Ken Sturdy entered the Westhills Cinemas lobby to watch a movie about the historic battle that he fought in and survived in the fateful summer of 1940."
I'm so thankful so many appreciated his service.
"The Calgary veterans left a profound impression on many movie-goers as he shared words and shook hands with many who thanked Sturdy for his service.
āAt the end of the movie I ran down the stairs and he was just wiping his tears away and I was able to shake his hand and give him a proper salute,ā an emotional Kelly Kwamsoos told Global News."
