Program #1: Battlefield Repatriation
For more than twenty years, our battlefield return programs have served as sacred pilgrimages—living memorials to the valor and sacrifice of America’s World War II generation. At no cost, veterans journeyed back to hallowed ground where freedom was forged, honoring fallen comrades, breaking long silences, and entrusting their stories to history. As these journeys draw to a close, we bow in reverence and gratitude, knowing their legacy endures forever—a timeless testament to courage, sacrifice, and the immeasurable price of freedom.

Program #2: Battlefield Repatriation
The War Without Heroes Initiative.
The American War in Vietnam remains one of the most painful chapters of the twentieth century, its legacy carried by soldiers, families, and civilians on both sides of the Pacific. For combat veterans, the deepest wounds have never fully healed. This program stands as a solemn commitment to their recognition and restoration—offering the sacred chance to return, honor the fallen, confront long-silent memories, and seek reconciliation. More than a journey back, it is an act of remembrance and renewal, ensuring their sacrifices endure with dignity, respect, and lasting honor.

Program #3: Educational Enrichment
Connecting-Generations Initiative.
Connecting Generations was born from the final wishes of America’s last living World War II veterans, who entrusted their legacy to those who would follow. They asked not only to be remembered, but to ensure that the values they embodied—duty, honor, sacrifice, and service—would be taught and carried forward. In response, Connecting Generations became an enduring bridge between defenders of freedom and today’s youth, offering free, immersive programs where students learn history by standing on the very ground where it was made.
