AN EVENT FOR VETERANS, THEIR FAMILIES & OUR COMMUNITY

Freedom...Is...NOT...Free.  We all have our fair share of problems. Our days may not be perfect. We have illnesses; we have challenges; we have lots of problems in our country. But one thing I truly believe; There is no other country that I'd rather live in than these United States of America.

I often think of those individuals who have lost their lives, fighting for you and I; so that we can wake up...safe in our beds...without fear of our very freedoms being taken away. What do you say to someone who has fought for that right? It can be overwhelming to speak about; but the feeling is deep inside.
This Healing Celebration helps raise money, finances and awareness to the problems our nation’s veterans face returning to civilian life including issues with mental illness and substance abuse problems.
