Spring Campaign 2012

Our group has entered into a new phase of our project as we move forward in 2012. We have selected a new leadership team that will be making some critical decisions as to what the next step will be. Some students have expressed interest in collaborating with veteran organizations to share stories, working with veterans in the community, and garnering more support from the community and veterans for veterans.

The group has some new and exciting ideas for 2012 and we are expecting great things. Please make sure to check out our project on Facebook and follow our blog for upcoming events and fundraising opportunities.

Veterans Day 2011

Our Freedom Fighters Project placed flags at the graves of several more veterans all around Horry County, South Carolina. Our group was able to expand our search and contribute to areas often forgotten, away from the larger cemeteries. Regardless of the location in the county, we wanted to recognize service to our country and pay our respects for their sacrifice and dedication to our nation and the values we hold dear.

We were able to raise quite a bit of money through the making and selling of bracelets and other fundraisers to promote our cause and purchase the much needed flags for our project. The students worked tirelessly for the cause.

In the spring, we will continue our fundraising efforts and our efforts to remember those who have fought, served, and represented our country. Our goal is to reach even more cemeteries and families.
