Freedom Park

Lake Cherokee recognizes its Veterans

While nearby Firecracker Island explodes with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, Freedom Park balances that revelry with a quiet nod to the sacrifices of our military men and women, in understanding that our enviable lifestyle comes at a cost.

 The Flagpole Display is comprised of 9 flagpoles and 10 flags.  The American Flag stands tallest in the center with the Texas and Lake Cherokee flags embracing it.  Guarding these symbols, standing out front, are the six flags representing our military branches of service:  Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Space Force.  The POW/MIA flag is tucked below the American Flag in recognition that our lost heroes will never be forgotten by a grateful nation.

 Three horizontal panels of black granite wall frame the bases of the flagpoles.  On the left and right panels are 126 names of Veterans who are important to Lake Cherokee shareholders.  In the center panel are the words our Veterans espoused when they entered the Military, “Duty, Honor, Country.”

 Friends of Freedom Park is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to caring for Freedom Park.  Its membership is passionate about recognizing, thanking, and supporting American military Veterans in ceremonies and events taking place at Freedom Park.
