Faces of Freedom preserves and archives the personal histories and images of U.S. military veterans and Holocaust survivors. The personal histories are collected through in-person interviews and a photo session. Each interview is used to create a biography that covers the highlights of the veteran's entire life, not just their time in the military. Each veteran has received a matted and framed black and white photo, at no charge, and a copy of their story as they told it.
Our mission is to express gratitude for the sacrifices each veterans and their family have made, record and preserve personal histories and educate the civilian population of what veterans endure and accomplish.
As of 2023, there were 18 million veterans in the U.S. That 7% of the US population has made sacrifices so the other 93%, the civilians, can go about enjoying their lives in peace and freedom. This will give you some insight into the Americans who have selflessly provided the blanket of freedom we wrap ourselves in each night.
Only 10% of military personnel see combat, but every veteran has a story. We want to tell your story and save it for generations to come.

“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." |
“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." |
