America's Future Freedom Depends On Educating Young Americans About America's Past
“Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.”—Thomas Jefferson
The Flags of Freedom Trilogy helps uncover the rich history of America as told by the historic flags that were eyewitnesses of the pivotal acts of Bravery, Courage,
Unity, and a people’s Quest for Freedom that shaped the destiny of a new nation.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” – Ronald Reagan
Every Flag Tells a Story!
You’ve no doubt heard the expression, “If only the walls could talk!” Well, if walls could talk, so might other inanimate objects – like flags! If they could, what do you think flags would say about their lives, the times they lived in, and the lives of the Thinkers, Discoverers, Explorers, Colonizers, Revolutionaries, and Founders that they led as they flew high above the new nation that would one day be born as “The United States of America?“
If you stop to think about it, flags would have enjoyed some pretty good vantage points from which to see and hear everything going on under them and around them, including:
ON LAND: How about the flags carried by the brave flagbearers in the midst of the chaos, smoke, noise, and blood of great battles, who led the way for the brave soldiers who were doing the fighting and dying as their generals sat on their “high horses” behind their troops directing them?
AT SEA: What about the flags that waved on high from the atop the masts of ships of war, wet, stiff, and popping in the breeze above brave American sailors like John Paul Jones aboard his ship the “Serapis?”
OUTDOOR MEETINGS: How about the flags waving lazily in the breeze from the top of “Liberty Poles” high above towns, forts, and battlegrounds where they could both see, and be seen, far into the distance? Wouldn’t they have a wider perspective and point of view of the events going on below them than the people and events they were watching?
INDOOR MEETINGS: And what about those flags that hung indoors, immobile, on the walls of buildings such as Carpenters’ Hall in Philadelphia where the first and second Continental Congresses met, or from the balconies above the many taverns, meetinghouses, and churches where important men and women were making even more important decisions about the future of our country?
What Sets "Flags of Freedom" Apart?

A Brief Summary of “The Flags of Freedom American History Project”
In Flags of Freedom-The Quest for Freedom, readers are taken on a journey through America’s history as seen through the “Flags-Eye” observations and perspectives of over 120 of the world’s and America’s most historical flags. Each flag is magically brought to life to share with us their eyewitness accounts of the people, places and events of America’s Pre-History and Early History, and the pivotal roles they played over the 2500-year (not a typo!) journey to a new nation founded on Freedom, Equality, Justice, and Rule of Law, America!
Our journey begins in 6th century B.C. Athens with the birth of Democracy, and continues through the eras of Discovery & Exploration, Colonization, Revolution and Founding, and ends just after 9/11 in the 21st century A.D. The Flags of Freedom Trilogy covers a wide range of flags and American history. Through meticulously researched content, stunning flags and animations, illustrations, and captivating text and audio narratives by each flag, it will accomplish its primary mission of “Bringing American History to Life” for its readers, and especially for its young American readers.
But the Flags of Freedom series is more than just a collection of fun to read books – it’s a valuable educational resource. Teachers, Parents, and Grandparents alike will find the series is both unique and highly effective for its ability to engage young readers to help spark a lifelong interest in reading about America’s history, form of government, and its many flags.
The author’s new “America–500 Project” is a grassroots educational initiative created to educate young Americans by assembling a team of collaborators including Parents, Grandparents, Historians, Vexillologists (flag experts), Artists, and Educators willing to dedicate their time and efforts to find new and better ways of teaching America’s epic history and the Democratic=Constitutional-Republic form of self-government responsible for creating the greatest nation in human history over its first 250-years. Their combined expertise and patriotism will help ensure that each book in the Flags of Freedom series will be informative, educational, and engaging, making American history more accessible, relatable, exciting, and memorable for young readers (of any age). And it’s just in time because “America is Flunking its Future Citizens and Leaders” as you can see from the graphics above.
The America-500 Project is a new tool to reach and engage the attention of the “Digital-Natives” who grew up in the Internet/Social Media/AI age, for whom traditional American History textbooks, teaching methods, and curiculuas are failing to engage, educate and prepare them for taking their places in American life as informed, and active citizens and future leaders.
The success of this initiative will depend on Parents, Grandparents, Uncles, Aunts, and other family members, plus educators, businesses, nonprofits, veterans groups, and Patriotic Americans like you to fund and share your talents and love of country. By collaborating with others stakeholders, together we’ll start to push back against the rising tide of Historical Illiteracy and the sad ignorance of how our government works, with leads to a growing lack of respect and gratitude for the many freedoms that every American was given as their birthright by their ancestors. As a result of these problems, there is a continuous decline in Love of Country and Patriotism that threatens the future prosperity, safety, and if not urgently taken seriously, may threaten the future survival of our Republic and the American way of life that is envied by around the world.
