We know that American history is glorious, an amazing story of men and women from diverse backgrounds from around the world uniting to build an empire of liberty.

Perfect? Of course not. Better than anything created before? Obviously, yes.

Now, more than ever, we need to learn the stories about the great Americans who struggled, suffered and died in creating the greatest nation in history.

We are all challenged to remember and honor the great American heroes and leaders who gave us everything we enjoy today.
