HELPING THE Community REMEMBER

We set up this website to inform you of our outstanding compilation of over 400 chapters (5,000+ pages) which cover our Founding Fathers (those who signed the Declaration and Constitution), the Founding Females (the signer's wives) , Other Ladies and Daughters of Liberty, a few of the Forgotten Founders, Others Founders (those who weren't signers) , Founding Documents, and a Miscellaneous section, even 9 Precursors and the first 10 POTUS, etc.

This compilation of information is offered to you one part at a time on the blog page, as a teaser and example of the information in the remaining chapters, as well as your opportunity to get the entire compilation (see 'The DVD/drive' page).

A Common Goal

Our Founders offered, and often gave, their "Lives, (their) Fortunes, and (their) Sacred Honor" to establish this country and the Republic we have now as our form of government.

WE BELIEVE THEY ALL DESERVE TO BE HONORED and revered for their sacrifice and efforts to establish the longest lasting Constitutional Republic in the history of the world (249 years of Independence - and counting-, 234 years under our Constitution - and counting - and 232 years with the Bill of Rights - and still counting).

This information contains great material for Home Schools, or 'Car-Learning' (as you drive around or go to the Grandparents or Cousins for the summer), or those dinnertime family discussions and family nights on or near July 4th, Independence Day, or about Constitution Day (Sept 17th), ... or even when questions come up (are we a Democracy or a Republic & why? - be careful there -, or ... besides George Washington who else helped set up the government and ideals of the U.S.A.?).

INFORMATION IS POWER

We offer you the information and a few reasons to be proud of this country, the information about over 350 individuals who made a huge difference (some with small parts and others with pivotal roles ... but each, young or old, male or female, were essential and played a part) in the direction this Nation took, and because of them we are free to take our own direction TODAY ... 250 years later!

Every man, woman, child, teenager, youth, and person helps or adds significantly in their own way to or from that direction. See what the Founders were willing to do and DID (!) ... and then decide if you are helping, hindering, or are just treading water in the stream of history as this Great Nation is going along. Are we headed to the scholls or are we in the 'mainstream' of history? Are we sinking or are we floating along?? YOU CAN DECIDE and then you will know what YOU need to do!
