AN  ANGEL FOR OUR  SOLDIERS  To be unveiled on Memorial Day in Danbury Connecticut. The freedom Angel Foundation based in Roxbury, CT. introduces the Freedom Angel Sculpture at the Danbury Fair Mall, on Monday, May 30,2011. The Freedom Angel will be on view until June 12,2011 to raise awareness of the many challenges facing our returning Veterans.  The Freedom Angel is a seven-foot clay sculpture which the Foundation passionately believes will become a new national symbol.  A symbol that recognizes the sacrifices which our Men and Women in uniform have so generously made on our behalf.  Visitors to the Mall will have the unique opportunity to observe American Sculptor Sterett-Gittings  Kelsey at work as she refines and finishes the Angel's details.

 The Foundation's goal is to create a branded symbol which could be produced in any number of collectible forms or applied to a myriad of products.  Therefore, through the purchase of such products, every American can play a part in making the Freedom Angel their centerpiece for fundraising efforts on behalf of America's Heroes.  Proceeds, in the form of grants will go to established organizations addressing the special medical and social needs of our Veterans.

"The Freedom Angel celebrates America and the Men and Women who protect her", said Board Member and Roxbiury First Selectman Barbara Henry.  "She gives those of us who stand on the sidelines, the opportunity to play a small part in helping our Veterans and their families.  This is our way of saying thank you, gratefully showing our appreciation for their sacrifices and providing assistance for the many challenges they face.
