39th Annual Military Appreciation Luncheon

As the Premier Sponsor of the 39th Annual Military Appreciation Luncheon, Freedom understands the importance of honoring those who serve in the United States Armed Forces and the families who support them. Thank you for your devotion and service.

The event expressed gratitude to all veterans, including those who have served in the Vietnam War. This marks the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War.
