The Flags of Freedom American History Project
We are Failing Our Children & Our Nation!
Do You Love America?
Do Your Children?
If we love our country and our children and grandchildren, we must act together to do something to reverse the continuing decline of our children’s lack of knowledge of American History, Civics, and their falling Love of Country and Patriotism. However, based on the statistics shown above, we obviously can’t continue to only rely on our Public Schools or our Government to address and fix these foundational educational problems, problems that directly affect the future success of our children, our nation, and its citizens.
This only leaves Parents, Grandparents, and Concerned Citizens like us to take the responsibility for fixing these deficiencies into our hands, if we are to avoid creating and sending additional generations of our future citizens and leaders out into the world, mostly ignorant of their country’s history and form of government, only to fail themselves and our nation.
This is why I conceived The Flags of Freedom American History Project and why I invite you to join me in taking action to address these widespread educational failures. My plan is to push back against the rising tide and the continuing decline of young Americans’ knowledge about our country’s History, Form of Government, Founding Principles and Values, and the roles and responsibilities of Citizenship, including the alarming decline in their Love of Country and Patriotism.
This lack of basic American History and Civics knowledge and understanding, if left unchecked, may one day result in the decline of our nation’s continuing peace, prosperity, and power, possibly leading to the eventual downfall of America and our Democracy.
I passionately believe that this problem is solvable, and I have taken the first steps toward developing the educational content to address it, but I can’t do it alone. All I can do is try to make every effort possible to raise awareness of the problem, and provide ideas for its solution by working on my own as an everyday American citizen and writer who is trying to make a positive difference for the country that I love so much-America.
In January of 2022, I decided that I wanted to depart this life knowing that I made the effort to leave my country-the marvelous nation that gave me over 75 years of freedom and the opportunities that come with that freedom-a better country than I found it when I was born on Flag Day, June 14th, 1950.
Toward that goal, I have so far invested two years of my time, money, work ethic, creative energies, and my meager resources, to conceive and create The Flags of Freedom Trilogy. This effort, will soon result in the release of the first book in the three-volume series, “Flags of Freedom-The Quest for Freedom.” The other two books in the series will likely take two or more years of continuing research, writing, designing, production, publishing, and marketing to complete the teaching materials that form the core educational components provided by “The Flags of Freedom American History Project.”
Why Flags of Freedom will Succeed in Educating Young Americans:
“Tell me the facts and I’ll learn.
Tell me the truth and I’ll believe,
But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever!“

How to Become a Part of the Solution to Help Reverse the Decline in American History and Civics Literacy Rates
The Flags of Freedom American History Project is a new and highly unique series of American History, Civics, and Flag books for young Americans, ranging from middle-school to high-school, and from college age to adulthood.
The series is designed to Entertain, Engage, Educate, Inspire, and Motivate young Americans to develop a greater interest in their country’s history, while acting as a “Gateway Book” to promote additional interest in reading history, biography and other nonfiction genres that will help provide them with the information they’ll need to become better American citizens. But, I can’t do it alone!
Please consider helping me help America by investing in our children’s education and in our country. There are many ways you can join me in this worthy project:
- Invest in our children’s and our young adult’s American History and Civics Literacy by pre-ordering the first book in the series on this website, by purchasing it wherever books are sold after it is released on Flag Day of June, 2025, or by making a one-time donation of any size through our Kickstarter Campaign, or by making a recurring monthly or annual subscription on our Patreon page.
- Partner by participating in our “Patriot Partner Program” for Flag Makers, Flag Retailers, Businesses, Nonprofit Service Organizations, and Individuals.
- Educate as a teacher, school administrator, or other educational professional by adopting the Flags of Freedom Trilogy as a part of your school’s American History curriculum or by adding it to your “Recommended-Reading” list for students.
- Share the Flags of Freedom American History Project and the books in The Flags of Freedom Trilogy with your family, friends, followers, and email lists to help us spread the word.
- Collaborate as a volunteer Content-Creator to help me develop websites, graphics, illustrations, map , videos, audio and other types of print and digital content that will help make these books more interactive, effective, and FUN for its readers.
