Please join us in celebrating the greatest of American traditions and the most celebrated rivalry in sports — the Army-Navy Game!

As you know, Freedom Alliance supports our military heroes and their families by sending “Gifts from Home” care packages overseas, hosting Troop Appreciation Events, taking wounded service members on Outdoor Sporting Retreats and Heroes Vacations, among many other activities. And each year, we show our support for our Cadets and Midshipmen at the Army-Navy Game!

The Weekend takes place December 6-8, 2012, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Guests will stay at the beautiful Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia, where we have secured a block of rooms. However, rooms must be booked by November 13, 2012, to receive our special rate.

During the Weekend, we will tour Philadelphia’s most historic sites and learn more about our history from some of our Founding Fathers.

Our Defender of Freedom Dinner at the 23rd Street Armory is also included in the weekend. On this 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War we will honor America’s Vietnam veterans.

Whether you cheer for Army or Navy, we hope that you will join us for what promises to be another great weekend!
