A friend forwarded an article about history, why we need to know it, how it changes us. It just affirms what we are doing with Appleseed.

Thank you very much for posting this link.  Any of us who give history presentations at an AS are well aware of the general ignorance of American history among our citizens.  We must do everything we can to teach and aquaint our fellow citizens the heritage and the values of our forefathers.

American lack of History knowledge is in the news again.  Even the ducks are worried about it!

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
Winston Churchill
