What would it be like to miss your child’s first birthday, their first steps or their high school graduation? What if you could not talk with your spouse or family for weeks at a time? What if you didn’t know if a family member was safe? For most of us, these situations are rare; however, for those in our military and their family members, they are part of their daily life.
“Our men and women of our Armed Forces make great personal sacrifices in order to secure and protect our freedoms,” said Dr. Robert Martino, Freedom Day USA founder and owner of the participating dental offices in WV. “Their families have endured hardships and some have given all they have so that we may live in peace – free to pursue our dreams. We founded Freedom Day USA to say ‘Thank You’ for their sacrifices and for our freedom, and to give them a Day of Free!”
From October 5-9, local businesses will join in the 14th annual Freedom Day USA event. Freedom Day USA is when businesses across the Country provide a Free Service, Product, Gift, etc., to the members of our military and their immediate families, along with Veterans.
Locally, Wilson Martino Dental, The Smile Defenders and TLC Dental have partnered with Freedom Day USA to provide FREE Dental Exams, Cleanings, X-rays, Fluoride and any same-day Dental Work that their DDS can complete.
