Welcome
The Greatest Generations Foundation is an IRS 501(C)(3) organization dedicated to honoring the sacrifices of veterans and ensuring that their legacies are recorded and retold in perpetuity to future generations. In order to preserve the legacies established by these heroes, TGGF provides opportunities for veterans to return to their former fields of battle in the company of their brothers in arms and younger generations to educate them about the sacrifices made long ago to defend the freedoms they enjoy today.
Message from our National Spokesman
Dear Friends,
If you have explored this site already you might have some idea of the work T.G.G.F. is doing and how they are honoring our remaining senior veterans who served in conflicts such as WWII, Korea and Vietnam.
Through the ever increasing programming that the Foundation offers to veterans and students, we hope to give back to our veterans the honor and gratitude that they so quietly deserve. America enjoys freedoms other parts of the world have never known, and we owe all our veterans, from WWII to the men and women fighting in Iraq and Afganistan today, our deepest and most sincere thanks. To this end, The Greatest Generations Foundation has taken it upon itself to honor the sacrifice of those who have fought to protect the freedoms we enjoy today.
The Foundation’s programs are designed to establish the legacies of those heroes slipping away to the younger generations who will soon take on the responsibility of safeguarding the freedom they fought for long ago. As you may know, the number of veterans still with us is decreasing at the alarming rate of over 1,000 every day. It is for this reason that the work of T.G.G.F. is so important, and why it is crucial that we do what we can to thank them now before it is too late. Not only must we thank them, we must preserve the legacy of freedom, duty, and honor that these men fought and died for.
As T.G.G.F. continues moving forward with new an exciting ways to serve veterans, I am very excited to share with you some of the developments in our ongoing programs. The Foundation is pushing forward with its American Hero Day programs to pass on veterans’ stories to middle and high school students. Additionally, our Connecting Generations programs have expanded to include military academy cadets, and we will soon be incorporating a new program dubbed Operation Common Ground which will take WWII and Iraq/Afghanistan veterans to medical centers to visit wounded brothers in arms. Through this variety of programs we hope to preserve as many of the veterans’ stories as possible and to personally pass them on to the next generations.
The Greatest Generations Foundation works to carry on these stories and the veterans’ legacies through their ever growing set of programs for veterans, students, cadets, and the future. To find out what part you can play in helping continue these veterans’ legacies, click on the TAKE ACTION link.
