FreedomSystem.org's Remember Event
2023-05-20 17:00 - 22:00 | Goshen VFW Post 985, 1201 W. Pike Street, Goshen, IN, 46526, United States
What is Remember?
Remember: A Supper Supporting Local Veterans is our annual supper that FSO will host to raise awareness for Veteran programs in our area. This year will focus on raising money for FreedomSystem.org to be able to have a brick-and-mortar facility to house all of our activities.
When is Remember? Where?
Remember is Saturday, May 20, 2023, with dinner starting at 1700 hours (5 pm). It will be hosted at the Goshen VFW Post 985 (1201 W Pike Street, Goshen, IN 46526)
What does FreedomSystem.org need for a brick-and-mortar facility?
FreedomSystem.org needs a brick-and-mortar facility to house all of its activities, from the martial arts program to resume and career-building classes, and a place for nonassociated Veterans to hang out and find camaraderie.
Remember? Remember What?
A lot of times, the mission of the Veterans Administration is overlooked, making it difficult for returning Veterans. A lot of times, Veterans feel overlooked, and what they did is not memorable – we want to remember them, their sacrifice, and what they did for our great country!
What is for dinner?
This year’s supper is a fine steak and chicken supper with green beans, potatoes, and a dinner salad, with a great brownie dessert to follow!

When you donate blood, you are saving lives of friends, family, and members of your community. Every 2 seconds someone in the United States needs blood, and with your donation, you can save upwards to three individual lives. Since blood cannot be manufactured, blood donations are necessary to ensure that healthcare systems have adequate supply for those in need.
