The Organization -
The
mission of The Greatest Generations Foundation (T.G.G.F) is to promote recognition
and respect for U.S. and allied war veterans while enhancing historical education
for today’s youth. T.G.G.F accomplishes this mission through the following
objectives: (1) to provide the opportunity for veterans to return to their
former battlefields so that they may achieve some measure of closure on their
war experiences and to provide a forum for sharing their stories; (2) to educate
the community and youth of all ages about war, the veteran experience and key
historical events so that they may understand each veteran’s individual
experiences in a broader historical context. Youth learn about these experiences
by traveling to important historical sites and understanding their relevance
first-hand; (3) to reconnect with descendents of liberated peoples and to foster
international and cross-cultural exchange. The dedication and bravery of these
veterans must never be forgotten, nor should the value of their deeds be allowed
to disappear into the annals of history.
