Rock2Stop22 has been Unsung Heroes' favorite event to play every year due to its purpose and how it brings people together. It's an opportunity for people to be vulnerable if they are struggling mentally, but also, to let loose and have fun. The atmosphere and energy at the festival is uplifting and unifying. It's an event where people can show their gratitude and support to veterans that served for the United States of America.
