From the desk of Jan Hommel, American Freedom Museum Director:

Over 3,000 people joined us on Saturday for our Annual East Texas Salute. This year we honored the Patriot Guard Riders and Welcome Home Soldiers for all they do for our American heroes and their families. We had the Traveling Vietnam Wall, Texas Veteran’s Classic Car Show, flyover over of 2 World War II planes, Military and First Responder vehicles, children’s activities and a free lunch for all in attendance! It was a wonderful day and we look forward to doing it again next year. Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday and we hope you will join us next May for our East Texas Salute 2017!
