Before you leave this
page, let us take a moment to reflect on the true
contribution made by our WW II veterans. These
veterans affected the world in a way greater than
any other group in our history.
If you think about the history
of the United States of America, we have fought in
many wars. All of the wars affected a few countries
in one-way or another. World War II, without the
contribution of the United States, would have resulted in
a world that was ruled by two powers, Germany and Japan,
and the annihilation of the Jewish people forever.
The sacrifice of the "Greatest
Generation" is what insured the lifestyle and freedom
enjoyed today in many countries. They destroyed two
dictatorships, brought an end to war overseas, and came
home and built a nation that insured out freedom to live
as we do.
Somewhere on an island in the
pacific, a site of a major battle and the unmarked graves
of many Americans, these words are carved on a simple
stone monument in memory of those who died there during WW
II: "When you go home, go home to your families and
say, to insure their tomorrow, we gave our today."
Your support of the "Vets
to Washington" project will ensure these
words and the contributions of the men and women they
memorialize will never be forgotten. Your generosity
will ensure this project continues. |
