ROHNA Classified - Veterans day screening at Monaca Public Library on Saturday , November 8th

ROHNA Classified

In honor of VETERANS DAY 2025--a SCREENING @ Monaca Public Library of the Documentary: ROHNA CLASSIFIED will be held on Saturday November 8 @ 3:00 pm.  This is the only Screening in the Greater Pittsburgh Area.  This is a free event.
 
Information concerning the sinking of the HMT ROHNA was classified by the US government until the mid-1990s.  The Rohna, a WWII transport ship was equipped with non-functioning lifeboats and inadequate lifebelts was sunk by one of the first radio-guided missiles ever used in war.   1,015 U.S. soldiers were killed in the attack that remains the greatest loss of life at sea in the history of any U.S. war.  

Uncovered classified documents reveal that neglect and oversight contributed to the large number of casualties. The government deflected responsibility by declaring the disaster classified indefinitely while ordering all survivors to remain silent. The casualty families were stonewalled and most of them went to their own graves never knowing what happened; their boys just never came home.
 
This documentary will be of interest to veterans, military personnel, history buffs, relatives of both the survivors and those who lost their lives.
 
Join us for a screening of the documentary and then a discussion after the showing.
--Saturday November 8 @ 3:00 pm.
Free and open to the public
