Plan a family vacation to the mother lode of historic sites: Washington DC. Places not to miss include the Washington Monument and the major memorials including Lincoln, Jefferson, World War II, Vietnam. Don’t forget the National Archives, the Smithsonian, especially the Air and Space Museum, the Library of Congress, the White House and the Mint. Kids also love the Newseum, the Spy Museum and Ford’s Theater. Nearby is Arlington Cemetery and George Washington’s Mt. Vernon. Kids usually leave asking, “When do we come back?”

- "If we want the next generation to be able to articulate their gratitude for the American heritage, it’s going to be up to their parents to teach them about it. (The schools? Fuhgeddaboudit.) There’s a great deal of useful advice on this in How to Raise an American: 1776 Fun and Easy Tools, Tips, and Activities to Help Your Child Love This Country (Crown Forum, 320 pp., $22.95), by Myrna Blyth and Chriss Winston." ----Michael Poterma, National Review

God Bless You! I heard about you on the Christian radio station and had to take time to check out your site. I am currently at a cross roads in life after graduating with an Associate's Degree from a community college. I am an English major and greatly desire to tutor people of all ages in learning how to read and write with joy. What I would most love to do is develop a Writer's Retreat where people of all ages could have a quiet country setting in which to do fun research projects, learn to play without batteries included, and learn the true heritage of our America. I have worked with children and adults over many years and now pray to serve God to the utmost outside the government controlled school system.
I will be praying that you have great success in telling the truth about our America. I have sent out emails concerning your site in hopes that the news will spread like wild fire. Thank you for your excellent efforts.
Sandra
