Ever stop to think about how our freedoms are preserved? The ones many of us enjoy every day, often without a second thought? The Freedom Endeavor honors the commitment of everyday citizens who have served in the U.S. military — individuals who have taken an oath to defend and uphold the Constitutional freedoms we all share. They live among us, walk the same streets, shop at the same stores — yet their service often goes unrecognized. How do we acknowledge those who have stood up to protect the liberties we hold dear?
The Freedom Endeavor honors these Veterans through the use of dramatic artistic photography as well as audio/video and text media.
This exhibit is taking place as part of the Heartland Patriots Festival in September 2025 – read more about the festival here: https://www.facebook.com/heartlandpatriotsfest
