Freedom Awards Gala


As part of America's Freedom Festival in Provo, individuals are celebrated that have demonstrated exemplary values of "honor, strength, tradition, freedom, and family values of God and country "at the Freedom Awards Gala. Lo and I were lucky enough to attend and it started off this 4th of July holiday in a great way.

These individuals were incredible. As I listened to the stories each one of them had to tell it made me grateful for the opportunities, history and caliber of individuals that are part of our great nation. It was impossible not to feel inspired to want to do and be more. The people that were sitting at our table recounted some of the stories of the individuals honored in past years and their stories were equally amazing.

The individuals honored at the event this year were: William Farley, Jack Thompson. Major Brian Shul, and Immaculee Ilibagiza. I highly recommend this event to anyone and everyone. We will definitely be back next year.
