The Celebrate Freedom Foundation (CFF) is proud to present their 14th annual Celebrate Freedom Festival. We are honoring America?s Vietnam Era Veterans as the 2011 ?Heroes of Freedom?. The theme is ?The Helicopter War? and on display will be a large variety of Vietnam era helicopters, such as the Huey, Cobra, Loach, OH-58, and others, along with military vehicles, living history, field encampments, and reenactors. The Vietnam era support service veterans, who did not deploy to Southeast Asia, have received little recognition for their service and they are especially encouraged to attend this patriotic, fun filled, family event.
Featured events include:
Friday, April the 15th
?Heroes of Freedom? Dinner at the Medallion Center, Columbia, SC.
Saturday, April the 16th
Celebrate Freedom Festival & Military Memorabilia Show: 9:00 ? 5:00 pm at Martin Luther King Jr. Park, Columbia, SC.
?The Ho Chi Minh Trail Ride?, a motorcycle poker run.
FREE concert featuring MoTown recording artist, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.
CFF is committed to honoring the military; past, present and future, and to promoting lasting patriotism in all Americans. CFF seeks to educate the public about the sacrifices made in defense of freedom and democracy. In years past the ?Heroes of Freedom? honored include the Doolittle Raiders, Tuskegee Airmen, Navajo Code Talkers, ?Triple Nickel? 555th Parachute Infantry, and Enduring Freedom Veterans.
Join us as we celebrate and seek to preserve the legacy of the American military. Bring the whole family to this highly entertaining, fun, and educational event!
