GRD | A Note From The Sports Department -

One of the most difficult things we do at the Granville Recreation District is tell a parent that we can no longer accommodate their child in a sports program. We never want to turn a child away, and it is certainly not our intention to create barriers to participation. However, as our programs cont...

The GRD would like to share an upcoming opportunity happening in Granville next week...

Veterans Day Film Screening -- Afghanistan War Documentary

After the terror attacks of 9/11, the United States launched an invasion of Afghanistan to topple the Taliban regime -- and our longest war began. In the Shadow of the Valley tells the stories of the Soldiers who fought there -- why they joined to serve, what they experienced in war, and how they made it home.

In the Shadow of the Valley is a visceral tale -- and one demanding to be told to today's American audience, 25 years after 9/11. It is the story of the fighting man in the U.S. War in Afghanistan -- the longest conflict in our nation's history.

The Spartan Film Company -- a Veteran owned/operated indie film company headed by Granville, Ohio native Paul Hofmeister -- is proud to embrace a mission of telling the story of the men who fought in the valley -- through the shadows -- and made it back home. We couldn't be more honored to be bringing this film back from the festival circuit to our hometown. Please consider joining us for the screenings, supporting our future operations, and spreading the word this Veterans Day. No man -- and no story -- should be left behind.
