The Northern Wasatch Association of Realtors (NWAOR) and Layton City are sponsoring the "Sounds of Freedom" Appreciation Day for the public to honor and support the military and their families of Hill Air Force Base. The event June 2 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. will begin with a flag ceremony and F-16 flyover.

Military members and their families' daily sacrifices ensure the nation's well-being and freedom. It is common to see them in our communities. The "sounds of freedom" can be heard as they fly over the community every day. All military, their families and area residents are invited to participate in this event as the community expresses its gratitude.

Festivities also feature a car show hosted by J.C. Hackett, musical entertainment, a drawing for an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, and booths with demonstrations, games, food and drinks. The event is free to the public with donations being accepted at the Layton Commons Park by NWAOR in support of the local military housing assistance fund. All proceeds, including booth fees and donations, will be given to the fund.

The event is also supported and sponsored by Airforce.com and Rock-n-Roll Radio Car Show and Cruise Nights. For information about the "Sounds of Freedom" Appreciation Day visit www.utahsoundsoffreedom.com and call L.T. Weese at (801) 645-1919 for event and booth information.
