Long before "We the People" had government, Constitution, President or Congress. There were a group of men who believed the King of England should not control the American destiny. They conceived their future was not in bartering their freedom on the decision of the King. The revolution began from the declaration "We the People" should have no King at all. They proposed America would be a land of free men and self government. These men who fought for our Independence are our first American Veterans.

Veterans are a National Treasure. The Spirit of our Union. The essence of our Constitution and the bond that stitches each generation into the American Flag we love. The obligation all Americans share. They are the Pedigree of the United States of America.
