Destin, FL – On February 16, more than 100 Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen from Eglin Air Force Base were treated to a day of friendly, competitive golf during the Fourth Annual Freedom Classic Golf Tournament. Freedom Alliance was proud to sponsor this event to honor the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, who bravely defend our freedom each day.

Dulles, VA – Freedom Alliance presented recuperating troops at Walter Reed Army Medical Center with a Valentine’s Day surprise by hand-delivering roses and Valentines to their rooms on Sunday. More than 20 volunteers presented 1,500 red and yellow roses to recovering soldiers, support staff, and family members. Every residence hall was visited and many staff members and volunteers had the opportunity to spend some time with a number of wounded troops throughout the different wards.

“Recovering from wounds sustained in battle is one of the most difficult things to overcome, both mentally and physically,” explained Freedom Alliance President Tom Kilgannon. “We know that for many wounded soldiers even the smallest gestures of support can go a long way to them keeping a strong and positive focus toward their recovery.”
