| "People from all walks of life gathered to honor vets from all wars, but more so the families of those vets. I want to thank the committee for loving us so much, and the sponsors for making it a reality, instead of a dream, for vets like myself and vets from all wars to come together for the same reasons." - Gene Daniels Decorated Combat Veteran |
| "Everyone, including attendees, speakers, and other participants, merchants and whole families, seemed to be caught up in the spirit of the event, and that spirit was literally contagious. Now I understand why people keep coming back to Freedom Fest year after year." - Adrian Cronauer Vietnam Veteran, Armed Forces Radio |

Since so many bring their loyal four legged friends to our event, we decided to have some fun with it.

| "I am very proud to be among you and I'd like to see this event continue for many years to come, not just for my benefit, or your benefit, but for our kids. If we have a product to sell in this country it is Americanism and Patriotism. You can't put a price on that." - Don Ballard Medal of Honor Recipient |
