The Impact of Living History
At Faces of Freedom, our impact is measured by the stories we preserve and the connections we build. Below are testimonials from the veterans, educators, and organizations who have experienced the power of these living histories firsthand.
Hello You Two!!
Just wanted to thank you, both, again for taking time out of your lives to interview Vets (me) and provide our families/ descendants with a cool, historical, marker. I truly appreciate all the time, cost, effort, and logistics involved with what you are doing!! Again, thanks for such a nice gift! Hope to see you around the Cape!!!

What you did for Neil was a highlight in his life. He was so proud and happy that day and because of you his legacy will live on your website. Your beautiful picture of the was at the funeral, at my daughters and my home where we sat Shiva. The foam core backed picture has been on my dresser and the framed one in my dining room since you gave them to us. They are beautiful- thank you. Thank you for your words and the special privilege you allowed him. Fondly Barbara.

It's a real honor for me to participate in your project and, also most importantly, to know you. |
We certainly appreciate what you are doing, for Max and for all the veterans you're covering! |
I cannot thank you enough for all the time and effort you put into the Veterans at Valencia Sound and for your extraordinary project to recognize Veterans everywhere! I find very few people truly appreciate the sacrifices made by Veterans no matter what their role or where they served, as you mentioned. It was an outstanding event yesterday and your presentation was the highlight!! I wish you well in the future and greatly respect your efforts.

It was absolutely incredible, thank you again so very much!!! Best! |
Thank you, Walter. This means so much. Keep up the good work of taking pictures and telling stories of these great people. |
Walter thanks so much for the photo of my dad and the photo of the two of us. A lot of people have interviewed him, but no one has done anything this nice for him. |
You captured these faces so uniquely! What a wonderful way to honor these people. Thank you for all you do. |
I'm going to make a $50 donation to the Museum in your honor in appreciation of your project and time here in Brevard. Have a very wonderful holiday! |
Walter, again I want to thank you both for all you are doing for this veteran’s project. I know it means a great deal to each of them, myself included. Semper Fi. |
Hi Walter. I received the framed photo in perfect condition yesterday afternoon. You really are a great photographer. Contrasts and details are super. Can’t thank you enough for what you are doing. Best of luck in the pursuit of your mission and in your future retirement. Semper Fi.

Thank you! It's a great portrait and will be a very special Christmas gift for Verl's family and close friends. |
…your photograph of her is just heavenly. She’s beautiful and you’ve really captured that beauty. |
Thank you for sending my way. It’s beautiful! I am sure my grandfather will be very happy to receive this. I learned so much about him that I didn’t know. |
When I think of the unselfish time and effort that you have put into this project of yours, I am in awe!! Your efforts are very deeply appreciated....thank-you!!! |
He is very happy with it (the photo). He was showing it off on Saturday at a family picnic. Thank you! |
Great work Walter, thank you. |
