Friend,

For more than two decades, American Veterans Center has been dedicated to honoring the sacrifice and preserving the legacy of our nation’s heroes. Each year, we host the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C., bringing Americans together in a powerful display of remembrance and patriotism. We also proudly produce “American Valor: A Salute to Our Heroes,” a nationally televised tribute to the men and women who have served across generations. 

But our work goes far beyond public events. At the heart of our mission is a commitment to preserve the stories of veterans from every era of service — from the final voices of World War II, to those who served in Korea, Vietnam, and the post-9/11 generation. Through these efforts, we ensure that future generations understand the cost of freedom and the courage it has taken to defend it. 

This year, American Veterans Center is marking historic military milestones: the 250th anniversaries of the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps...the 80th anniversary of the victories that won World War II...and key events in the Korean War 75 years ago, and the Vietnam War which ended 50 years ago this year.   

We may never have another opportunity like this to recognize their sacrifice on a national scale. 

To mark the occasion, I want to send you a full-size (3x5ft) American flag when you make a gift of $25, $50, $100 or more to support the American Veterans Center’s historic campaign: American Honor 2025.

This is one of our most ambitious efforts ever, Friend — a national salute to those who fought to make and keep America free.  

Together, we’re capturing the stories of WWII veterans before it’s too late…and preserving seldom-heard accounts from those who fought in Korea, Vietnam, and the post-9/11 wars. 

And with your gift today, I’ll send you a free, full-size American flag as my thank you.  

To some, it may look like just a flag.  

But to those who served, it’s a promise kept. 

It flew over the beaches of Normandy.  

It sailed with the Pacific fleet.  

It was stitched into the sleeves of every soldier who never made it home. 

This flag reminds us of all they sacrificed, and what we’re now called to defend. 

Let it fly proudly as a reminder that freedom isn’t free — and that this generation will not forget the sacrifices of the last. 

So please, Friend, make your gift today. Help us preserve their legacy while there's still time — and proudly fly the flag they fought for.

Friend, throughout American history, our nation’s flag has stood tall. 

I hope you’ll take this opportunity to receive your American flag and fly it proudly, today and every day as a symbol AND promise of freedom. 

Thank you for standing with America’s heroes — past, present, and future. 

Sincerely,

Tim Holbert
President
