鈥淲hat an incredible milestone for this great American experience of ours and what a great time to be alive,鈥� Elliott said. 鈥淪tan Herzog, our founder, was a successful businessman and entrepreneur only because of the opportunity afforded to him in this nation.

The Freedom Tour will honor that legacy.鈥�
