JOHNNY VET: Freedom Isn’t Free
November 18, 2017 at 7:00 pm
Tickets range from just $20 to $100
One Night Only! Johnny Vet: Freedom Isn’t Free is a dynamic and inspirational musical journey of the men and women who have fought the nation’s wars and how those same men and women, as veterans, have helped to shape the nation and its destiny. Powerful narration and compelling images set to musical compositions featuring the renowned West Point Alumni Glee Club along with special guests will take the audience from the start of Johnny Vet’s journey with “the shot heard round the world” in 1775 to the present day era of the Global War on Terror. Through original scores and popular songs of each era, Johnny Vet explores the true nature of these heroes in our midst: Who they are, where they come from, the burdens they carry on and off the battlefield, the unique burdens their families shoulder, particularly while they are deployed, and the issues they face when it’s time to come home and take off the uniform. The journey will also demonstrate the vast contributions these veterans and their families have made and continue to make to the nation in their civilian communities. Johnny Vet: Freedom Isn’t Free will entertain Americans, who benefit from the selfless service and sacrifice of the less than 1% who serve in uniform.
