Fellow American,
=20
The day the war ended, I became a World War II veteran =E2=80=93 and I was =
just 16 years old.
=20
I had faked my birth certificate to enlist in the U.S. Maritime Service in =
1944, and I served on a tanker ship that transported refined oil to the Pac=
ific. Four days after Victory over Japan Day in 1945, I turned 17.
=20
Fellow American, as one of America=E2=80=99s youngest World War II veterans=
, I consider it my sacred duty to inspire the next generation to safeguard =
the legacy and honor the memories of the men and women who served with me.
=20
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the major battles of 1944. Will you=
chip in $35, $50, $75, $100, or more, today to join me to support the Amer=
ican Veterans Center's National Memorial Day Parade in this important year?=

I=E2=80=99ve given thousands of speeches all across the country about Ameri=
ca=E2=80=99s veterans.
=20
But who I=E2=80=99m really talking for is the more than 400,000 fallen Amer=
icans, the majority of whom were left in foreign soil or in a watery grave =
during World War II.
=20
So whether I=E2=80=99m standing on-stage speaking to hundreds or in a perso=
nal conversation with a curious young person, I say the same thing: go look=
up the stories. The real stories, not just what you got from your history =
book.
=20
Go back to Pont du Hoc and the invasion of Normandy =E2=80=93 those were yo=
ung men climbing straight up a cliff. Go back to the servicemembers who won=
the war at the Battle of the Bulge, at the cost of more than 19,000 lives =
lost.
=20
Learn about the war contributions that the government took nearly 50 years =
to acknowledge: the thousands of women who flew bombers from the assembly l=
ines to U.S. military bases, including the 39 who died serving our country,=
or the real dangers that those in the Maritime Service who were faced with=
the mortality rate of 1 out of 26, which was the highest rate in WWII (and=
then came home to be excluded from the GI Bill until the late 1980s!).
=20
Fellow American, no other organization does as much to honor America=E2=80=
=99s veterans =E2=80=93 and tell our stories in our own words =E2=80=93 as =
the American Veterans Center.
=20
That=E2=80=99s why I=E2=80=99m proud to support them, proud to take part in=
their excellent programs for veterans, and proud to ask you to join me and=
my friends at the American Veterans Center for our special mission this ye=
ar.
=20
Please make your most generous gift of $35, $50, $75, $100, or more, today =
to help support the American Veterans Center's National Memorial Day Parade=
in this important anniversary year. <[link removed]

Fellow American,
The day the war ended, I became a World War II veteran – and I was just 16 years old.
I had faked my birth certificate to enlist in the U.S. Maritime Service in 1944, and I served on a tanker ship that transported refined oil to the Pacific. Four days after Victory over Japan Day in 1945, I turned 17.
Fellow American, as one of America’s youngest World War II veterans, I consider it my sacred duty to inspire the next generation to safeguard the legacy and honor the memories of the men and women who served with me.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the major battles of 1944. Will you chip in $35, $50, $75, $100, or more, today to join me to support the American Veterans Center's National Memorial Day Parade in this important year? <[link removed]>
[David Yoho] <[link removed]>
Support the National Memorial Day Parade <[link removed]>
I’ve given thousands of speeches all across the country about America’s veterans.
But who I’m really talking for is the more than 400,000 fallen Americans, the majority of whom were left in foreign soil or in a watery grave during World War II.
So whether I’m standing on-stage speaking to hundreds or in a personal conversation with a curious young person, I say the same thing: go look up the stories. The real stories, not just what you got from your history book.
Go back to Pont du Hoc and the invasion of Normandy – those were young men climbing straight up a cliff. Go back to the servicemembers who won the war at the Battle of the Bulge, at the cost of more than 19,000 lives lost.
Learn about the war contributions that the government took nearly 50 years to acknowledge: the thousands of women who flew bombers from the assembly lines to U.S. military bases, including the 39 who died serving our country, or the real dangers that those in the Maritime Service who were faced with the mortality rate of 1 out of 26, which was the highest rate in WWII (and then came home to be excluded from the GI Bill until the late 1980s!).
Fellow American, no other organization does as much to honor America’s veterans – and tell our stories in our own words – as the American Veterans Center.
That’s why I’m proud to support them, proud to take part in their excellent programs for veterans, and proud to ask you to join me and my friends at the American Veterans Center for our special mission this year.
Please make your most generous gift of $35, $50, $75, $100, or more, today to help support the American Veterans Center's National Memorial Day Parade in this important anniversary year. <[link removed]>
Support the National Memorial Day Parade <[link removed]>
Fellow American, after you read my note today, I hope you’ll consider making a generous gift to support the work of the American Veterans Center.
And I strongly urge you to learn for yourself the stories of the men and women of the World War II generation – and then share those stories with a young person in your life.
It’s easier to access this information than ever before, thanks in part to my friends at the American Veterans Center, and it’s easier to share our stories than ever before too.
You can join me in my life’s work to honor and remember America’s veterans, from World War II to now, and you can start with me today.
Please, Fellow American, in this special 80th anniversary year, make your most generous gift of $35, $50, $75, $100, or more, to help support the special mission of the American Veterans Center.

Thank you for your consideration. God bless you, and God bless America.
Sincerely,

Fellow American,
The day the war ended, I became a World War II veteran – and I was just 16 years old.
I had faked my birth certificate to enlist in the U.S. Maritime Service in 1944, and I served on a tanker ship that transported refined oil to the Pacific. Four days after Victory over Japan Day in 1945, I turned 17.
Fellow American, as one of America’s youngest World War II veterans, I consider it my sacred duty to inspire the next generation to safeguard the legacy and honor the memories of the men and women who served with me.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the major battles of 1944. Will you chip in $35, $50, $75, $100, or more, today to join me to support the American Veterans Center's National Memorial Day Parade in this important year? <[link removed]>

Support the National Memorial Day Parade <[link removed]>
I’ve given thousands of speeches all across the country about America’s veterans.
But who I’m really talking for is the more than 400,000 fallen Americans, the majority of whom were left in foreign soil or in a watery grave during World War II.
So whether I’m standing on-stage speaking to hundreds or in a personal conversation with a curious young person, I say the same thing: go look up the stories. The real stories, not just what you got from your history book.
Go back to Pont du Hoc and the invasion of Normandy – those were young men climbing straight up a cliff. Go back to the servicemembers who won the war at the Battle of the Bulge, at the cost of more than 19,000 lives lost.
Learn about the war contributions that the government took nearly 50 years to acknowledge: the thousands of women who flew bombers from the assembly lines to U.S. military bases, including the 39 who died serving our country, or the real dangers that those in the Maritime Service who were faced with the mortality rate of 1 out of 26, which was the highest rate in WWII (and then came home to be excluded from the GI Bill until the late 1980s!).
Fellow American, no other organization does as much to honor America’s veterans – and tell our stories in our own words – as the American Veterans Center.
That’s why I’m proud to support them, proud to take part in their excellent programs for veterans, and proud to ask you to join me and my friends at the American Veterans Center for our special mission this year.
Please make your most generous gift of $35, $50, $75, $100, or more, today to help support the American Veterans Center's National Memorial Day Parade in this important anniversary year. <[link removed]>
Support the National Memorial Day Parade <[link removed]>
Fellow American, after you read my note today, I hope you’ll consider making a generous gift to support the work of the American Veterans Center.
And I strongly urge you to learn for yourself the stories of the men and women of the World War II generation – and then share those stories with a young person in your life.
It’s easier to access this information than ever before, thanks in part to my friends at the American Veterans Center, and it’s easier to share our stories than ever before too.
You can join me in my life’s work to honor and remember America’s veterans, from World War II to now, and you can start with me today.
Please, Fellow American, in this special 80th anniversary year, make your most generous gift of $35, $50, $75, $100, or more, to help support the special mission of the American Veterans Center.

Thank you for your consideration. God bless you, and God bless America.
Sincerely,
David Yoho
World War II Veteran
