"Kevin and Deb Smith got the bad news Saturday morning — that a local brew pub that evening would not be showing the premier of an HBO film about Chance Phelps, a Palisade High School graduate and Marine killed in Iraq in 2004."
Trademark and copyright laws prevented Smugglers from playing the movie. Still, roughly 60 people showed up to swap stories and pay tribute to Phelps. The restaurant offered them a free drink and appetizer.
The group included the Smiths, whose son, Josh, graduated from Central High School last May and joined the Marines, becoming the fourth generation of his family to enlist in the military. Kevin Smith served off and on in the Army for 22 years.
