Along with the family-fun events, on-going music, and a spectacular fireworks show, the Spirit of America also spotlights individuals who have made significant contributions locally and nationally. The Audie Murphy Patriotism Award, the Barrett C. Shelton Freedom Award, and the Humanitarian Award are presented each year on July 4.
