Program #1: Battlefield Repatriation
Heroes of World War II Inc.
The Battlefield Repatriation Initiative stands as a profound expression of gratitude and humanity, offering aging veterans of World War II and the Cold War a chance to reconnect with the landscapes that shaped their lives and defined the course of history. These men and women answered the call of duty during some of humanity's most turbulent chapters, and the initiative recognizes that their sacrifices extend far beyond the battlefield. The emotional weight carried by these veterans often remains hidden, and as time marches on, the urgency to address these deeply personal struggles becomes ever more pressing. By facilitating these emotional pilgrimages, the initiative strives to bridge the past and the present, allowing these veterans to walk the ground where bravery and loss intertwined, and to find solace in the act of remembrance.
Program #2: Battlefield Repatriation
Return to Vietnam Inc.
The echoes of the Vietnam War may have faded from the daily news cycle, but for the 2.7 million Americans who served in that conflict, the memories, both poignant and painful, remain. The Return to Vietnam Initiative stands as a powerful testament to the enduring values of peace and justice, recognizing the immense courage displayed by these veterans who answered their nation's call, and seeking to foster reconciliation with the land and people they once encountered in conflict.
Program #3: Educational Enrichment
Connecting Generations Inc.
The Connecting Generations Initiative is far more than a historical journey; it is an extraordinary bridge between the past and the future, designed to leave an indelible mark on the lives of disadvantaged students. Through this program, students who often grapple with their own challenges are granted the rare privilege of traveling to Normandy, France, a place steeped in the memory of sacrifice, resilience, and courage. Here, amidst the solemn battlefields and weathered relics of World War II, history becomes more than a subject in a textbook—it becomes a lived experience. What makes this initiative truly remarkable, however, is not just the setting but the people who accompany these young travelers. The last surviving veterans of the war, witnesses to one of humanity’s most defining eras, serve as living storytellers, guiding the students through a firsthand account of bravery, loss, and determination. These encounters forge a unique emotional connection that brings the gravity and lessons of history into sharp focus. Discover more about our initiatives and programs.
