The Preamble to The US Constitution
The Preamble to the United States Constitution is a brief introductory statement of the Constitition's fundamental purposes and guiding principles. It states in general terms, and courts have referred to it as reliable evidence of, the Founding Fathers' intentions regarding the Constitution's meaning and what they hoped the Constitution would achieve.
We the People of the United States
in order to form a more perfect union,
establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defence,
promote the general welfare,
and secure the blessings of liberty
to ourselves and our posterity,
do ordain and establish
this constitution for the
United States of America.

A Tribute to
American Heroes!
Sometimes you meet a person who changes your life.
That's a blessing.
Sometimes - if you are in the right place at the right
time - you have the opportunity to meet a person who changes history.
That's destiny.
Today, you
just happen to be in the right place at the right time.
You have the
opportunity to meet someone who changed history, and not just one person - but twelve people
whose incredible stories will challenge
history as you know it.
They have
been called "The Disciples." They are the twelve remaining members of a special elite team of the United States Army. There were twenty-four members in the beginning.
They came from different farms across the United
States.
They were
asked: "Do you want to be
remembered in the history books 20 years from now? Do you want to serve your country and make
your fellow Americans proud?"
That was 74
years ago.
Their story
is not in the history books, yet.
Read the rest of the story...

They trust me to tell you their stories.

who served at Pearl Harbor,
Japan, and in Germany.
