A Salute to Service
The American Freedom Honors is a premier awards ceremony dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the extraordinary men and women who serve and have served our nation in uniform. This is not a banquet or a fundraiser — it is a full production awards gala designed to honor our service members with the dignity, fanfare, and national recognition they deserve.
Taking place on September 30, 2027 at the iconic eSports Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the ceremony will bring together veterans, families, community leaders, and supporters for an unforgettable evening of tribute, recognition, and gratitude.
Nine award categories — including three presenting separate honors for Active Duty and Guard/Reserve recipients, and a dedicated Military Spouse of the Year award, ensuring every facet of military service and sacrifice is represented.
Exceptional valor or service above and beyond the call of duty.
Outstanding leadership that inspired and guided others in the field.
Outstanding service and support of our military and veteran communities.
For those who served quietly and faithfully without seeking recognition.
Honoring a career of distinguished military service and enduring dedication.
Recognizing outstanding NCOs who lead from the front. Two awards presented — one for Active Duty and one for Guard/Reserve.
Honoring commissioned officers who exemplify leadership and excellence. Two awards presented — one for Active Duty and one for Guard/Reserve.
Celebrating units that demonstrate exceptional performance, cohesion, and mission readiness. Two awards presented — one for Active Duty and one for Guard/Reserve.
Honoring the strength, sacrifice, and dedication of military spouses who support our service members and actively serve their military communities.
The American Freedom Honors Awards Gala is designed to be a world-class production worthy of the heroes being recognized. From the moment guests arrive at eSports Stadium in Arlington to the final award of the evening, every element of the night will be crafted to honor those who gave so much.
Further details about performers, speakers, ticket availability, and the evening's program will be announced as the September 30, 2027 ceremony approaches. Stay tuned to this page and our blog for all updates.
A world-class venue befitting a world-class ceremony — located in the heart of Arlington, Texas.
American Freedom Honors will be giving back to the three Community Service Organization nominees that dedicate their time, resources, and passion to serving and supporting our military, veterans, and their families.
Community organizations play a vital role in the lives of our military and veterans. They provide essential resources, create opportunities, strengthen families, and step forward when help is needed most. These organizations are often powered by dedicated volunteers and community leaders who ask for little in return. They simply recognize a need and answer the call.
At American Freedom Honors, we believe those who support our military and veterans deserve to be recognized — not only for the work they do, but also for the impact they make. That is why we are proud to give back to all three Community Service Organization nominees, helping them continue the important work they do every day.
Because honoring those who serve also means supporting those who serve them.
Honoring Those Who Serve. Recognizing Those Who Support Them. Giving Back to Those Who Give So Much.
Every nomination tells a story worth telling. Every name plaque honors a sacrifice worth remembering. Be part of the first American Freedom Honors Awards Gala.
