Reviews

  • "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

Tip of the Day: Those Who Served

Remember those who served.  Ask your children to write a letter to their school’s principal suggesting that local veterans of different generations speak about their experiences at a school assembly.  Your local chapters of the American Legion or the Veterans of Foreign Wars will be able to supply speakers for the assembly or to speak to different classes.   A great idea for Veterans or Memorial Day.

For anyone near the north Georgia area, the Curahee Military Museum in Toccoa, Georgia is fabulous. Toccoa was where the paratroopers made more famous in "Band of Brothers" started training. The museum is a wealth of information, the people are wonderful and veterans visit frequently. Well worth a trip!
