Support a project

You can help make a difference by supporting projects which  promote education of our struggle for liberty and preserve the memory of those who served the cause of freedom in America. The following are two such projects endorsed by the editor of this blog.

Veterans Educational Historic Art Project

Five 8x10 paintings depicting the history of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and the Coast Guard which will hang in the Committal Hall at the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery next to Camp Ripley, Little Falls, Minnesota.                           More information at www.vetsart.org

Saving Revolutionary War battlefields

Many battlefield sites have been lost to development and the few remaining are in jeopardy of being lost as well. The Civil War Trust, which has been instrumental in obtaining and preserving many civil war battlefields, is now, with the help of the Society of the Cincinnati, launching a project to preserve Revolutionary War sites.
