My father and uncle were just young farm boys from Oklahoma when they left their family to fight in WWII. They fought for the freedoms we have today and my hope is that we will remember and honor the sacrifices made by Americans like them to secure our continued freedom and way of life.
AMERICA’S INVITATION IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE YOUR STORY.
Join all Americans and share your story about your history and your hopes and dreams for the future of our country. Together, we will tell the American story through videos and the most inclusive commemoration in our history.
