The first 500 who pre-register online for the Freedom Cruise receive a free commemorative challenge coin at the event.
Held on September 11, 2021, the 10th anniversary of 911, our 7th annual freedom cruise was met with the largest turnout in the event’s history. We had more than 3,000 people attend to remember, honor, and support West Michigan Veterans.
Special thanks to the Gold Star family of Sergeant First Class Rick Herrema for sharing his story and memory with us, as well as to all of the first responders and other special guests that joined us for this momentous event.
Details of our 2022 event are noted below. We look forward to seeing you there!
