The 2014 Freedom Award honored Sapient and General James Mattis (USMC, Ret.) during a family friendly event hosted on the lawn of President Lincoln's Cottage. The celebration brought together scholarship Recipients, their families and guests of all ages to recognize those who serve and their families.
