HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â A tradition returns now that Hendersonvilleâs Freedom Festival is back.
â[It s] our biggest event of the year, obviously probably one of the largest events weâve had in over a year,â said director of Parks and Recreation, Andy Gilley.
But this year s festival featured something new.
âItâs people like them that are giving us the opportunity to do things like this. This wall is incredible and weâre lucky as a city to have it stop here on this holiday,â said Gilley.
Volunteers with the group Veterans and Athletes United are honoring fallen service members who died in the global war on terror in a unique way by using their military dog tags to keep their memory alive.
