How We Serve
WWII Veteran Celebrations
We’re taking our WWII veterans on an unforgettable experience, with an all-expenses paid trip to New Orleans for an exclusive celebration and VIP tour of The National WWII Museum built in their honor.
Remember The Sacrifices of Our Greatest Generation
Our Endless Gratitude
They Saved The World
Our WWII veterans are the reason we live in a free society today. With unparalleled bravery they vanquished tyranny, turning the tide against global fascism and oppression. Their legacy continues to influence global affairs and inspire future generations.
Our Endless Gratitude
By Volunteering Their Youth
At no time in history were the stakes higher, with our very freedom hanging in the balance. Their victory liberated millions across the globe, in what became the deadliest conflict in human history. Their efforts ushered in decades of peace and prosperity.
Feeling Forgotten
A wide generational gap exists between citizens and our WWII veterans, whose average age is nearly a hundred years old.
Combatting
Many WWII veterans are in full-time care facilities with limited mobility, leading to a lack of connection with the outside world.
Time Is Running Out
We’re losing more and more WWII veterans every single day. And once they’re gone, their stories will be lost to history forever.
They Deserve It
We can never repay the debt we owe to our WWII veterans. But we can ensure in their final years they know the warmth of America’s gratitude.
The Cost of Freedom
294
WWII Veterans pass away every day. Fewer than 500,000 are still with us.
Will you help share their stories?

The National WWII Museum
An Unforgettable Experience
Our WWII veterans are welcomed with an airport parade to a private chartered flight from American Airlines. A police escort then takes them to a ceremonial dinner where each hero is honored. The next day includes a VIP tour of the museum with a performance by the Victory Belles. Before leaving, our heroes are sent home with letters of gratitude from loved ones and grateful Americans.
Honoring & Celebrating
A Hero’s Welcome At Every Turn
On these special experiences, our heroes are catered to and celebrated everywhere they go. Each itinerary is specifically tailored to their age and abilities, ensuring their comfort is always maintained. And the public is invited to welcome them personally and show their gratitude at every stop.
Students Accompany Our Heroes To Learn Their Stories
Hearing a first-hand account of the war gives students a whole new perspective from the history they’ve only read about in books.
Sponsoring A Traveling Oral Historian
For veterans who cannot travel, we’re sending an oral historian to capture their story and archive them at the museum for future generations.
Sending Care Packages To Homebound WWII Heroes
For heroes who are unable to participate in the experience, we’re sending care packages to their door with our love and gratitude.
Building A Community of WWII Veterans
Introducing these heroes helps to combat their feelings of isolation and loneliness, especially for veterans with little remaining family.
