All Americans should read the stories and know of these heroes who have been
all but forgotten.

Friend,



Our schools used to teach every child about D-Day. Among the thousands of
heroes of the longest day were the 12 soldiers who received the Medal of Honor
for their courage and valor… but that’s no longer the case. WAs our Greatest
Generation has passed, we have failed to teach our children the legacy of
service, honor, and sacrifice of the men who fought their way into Hitler’s
Fortress Europe.



In a recent poll of High School Seniors:

* 72% Didn’t know we fought Hitler during World War II.
* 87% Didn’t know we entered WWII because of the attacks on Pearl Harbor.
* 60% Didn’t know which countries we fought in WWII
* 13% Thought General Dwight Eisenhower was a general from the Civil War
Friend, American kids are not being taught our nation’s history. According to
‘The Nation’s Report Card,’ America’s high schoolers’ proficiency in U.S.
History and Civics is at its lowest level in nearly 30 years. They know little
of the immense courage our troops displayed fighting for their freedoms in the
Second World War, and they know little of the heroes who gave their life in
service to our country.



In fact, most Americans these days know next to nothing about World War II and
the millions of young soldiers who put their lives on the line to serve their
country in the war, let alone in Korea or Vietnam.



To help educate young Americans about the selfless, patriotic, and courageous
heroes in WWII, the American Veterans Center created a limited-edition booklet —
A Mighty Endeavor: Operation Overlord through the Eyes of D-Day’s Greatest
Heroes.



For the next 24 hours, I’m holding a copy of this brand new, one-of-a-kind
booklet for you, Friend. With your gift of any amount today, a copy ofA Mighty
Endeavorwill be yours to share with family and friends.

Every one of the 156,000 men who stormed the beaches of Normandy on that
bloodyday is a hero in my book.



It took real guts to run head-first into a hailstorm of bullets and mortar
rounds. We all hope nobody ever needs to experience something like it again.
But it is essential we remember, and learn. The AVC is devoted to preserving
their history, so that today’s young Americans – and those in generations to
come – can learn from the heroes you and I grew up idolizing.



The 12 heroes who received the Medal of Honor showed so much courage and valor
in the invasion of Normandy, that they were individually chosen to receive our
nation’s highest honor.



All Americans should read the stories and know of these heroes who have been
all but forgotten. TheAmerican Veterans Center is committed to bringing the
legacy of the greatest generation to the latest generation, and with your gift
today, we can preserve the legacy of America’s World War II veterans.

is my hope that you’ll share this booklet with your children, grandchildren,

Friend, we must share the TRUTH about American WWII veterans with America’s
youth – we cannot fail them any longer.



We must educate our nation’s children with messages of the D-Day heroes who
were up against a battle-hardened enemy, whose very actions preserved the
freedoms we enjoy today.



Please support American Veterans Center’s mission to fight the historical
ignorance plaguing today’s culture and teach America’s young people what real
service meant during WWII.
