Most of the cast and crew were in attendance, along with Pennsylvania State Senator Michael O'Pake (D-11th District, and polar opposite of the film's Senator Skippy) who enthusiastically endorsed the movie. During the Q&A session, a Vietnam Veteran thanked the crew for making the movie and praised its boldness at a time when the media is ignoring the truth about "The War on Terrorism".
