Two free screenings of the feature film “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” will be held in Jacksonville in the coming weeks.

The first screening will be held at 5 p.m. Saturday, June 18 at 2657 Park St. in Riverside. The second screening will be held at 6:30 p.m. Friday, June 24 in the auditorium of the Salem Centre, 7235 Bonneval Rd. in Southside. Both screenings are sponsored by Turning Points in America. Refreshments will be available.

Directed by Michael Bay and starring John Krasinki, “13 Hours” recounts the harrowing tale of the brave men who on Sept. 12, 2012 fought back as terrorists attacked the U.S. Special Mission Compound and the nearby CIA Annex in Benghazi, Libya. A small team of U.S. veterans repelled the attackers and save many lives in the battle that would eventually claim the lives of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Navy veteran Sean Smith and veteran Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.
