Freedom River: Honoring Service, Inspiring Renewal
Freedom River is an outdoor recreation facility for veterans and their families to relax, recover, and rejuvenate.
Born from the vision of Director of Operations Jeff Yeakey, a veteran himself, Freedom River fills a critical gap between the needs of veterans and the support systems meant to serve them. Golden Limousine International proudly supports this mission, guided by President Sean Duval's personal connection as the son of a veteran.
"And the finish line is in sight! Final touches to the outdoor recreation center are underway — coating the courts, building a third picnic shelter, installing picnic tables, and landscaping. It will soon be an even better place for veterans and their families to gather and heal."
- Janna Yeakey
