The 1992 critically acclaimed film, A Few Good Men, is often noted for its ensemble cast of Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Jack Nicholson, and many other big Hollywood names, but a man who grew up in Montgomery County, Wolfgang Bodison,  plays a key role in the movie.

The plot follows the court-martial of two U.S. Marines, one played by MoCo’s Wolfgang Bodison, charged with the murder of a fellow Marine and the tribulations of their lawyers as they prepare a case. Bodison, who played the role of Lance Corporal Harold “Hal” Dawson, delivered a powerful performance in what was his first acting role.

Wayne Rooney, widely considered one of the best players of his generation, has agreed terms to be the next manager of D.C. United, according to an ESPN report. Per the report, he “will join up with the club once the final details are worked out and he acquires the necessary work visa”

This will be Rooney’s second stint with D.C. United, having previously joined the team as a player back on 28 June 2018, when he signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the team. He ended his time in the MLS in October of 2019 with 23 goals and 15 assists in 48 regular-season appearances.

Restaurants

Just a couple weeks ago, on June 27th, a car was driven into Tiger Sugar– located at 12266E in Federal Plaza. The collision destroyed the bubble tea shop’s storefront, forcing the store to close until repairs are complete. We have just been informed that the store will hold a Grand Reopening, that will include merchandise giveaways, on Saturday, July 16th at noon. Additional information will soon be available via Tiger Sugar Rockville’s Instagram.

Work to schedule the repairs began almost immediately, but we have been told the driver’s insurance was only able to cover a small portion of the damages caused by the collision and that the rest had to go through the business’s insurance policy, which traditionally has a high deductible.
