Over the past couple of days I have been designing "The Honor Coin". This coin will pay tribute to the Tomb of the Unknowns and will be used to generate funds to help our Veterans. Every year Congress is allowed to introduce 2 commemorative coins into legislation. The US Mint produces these coins and the legislation will determine who gets the rights to sell them to benefit from the proceeds.
Everyone that comes to this website should know that we are not interested in controlling ANY of these funds. Yes, we are going to ask Congress to name a beneficiary of our choice for the program but we won't be affiliated at all except to monitor how the funds are helping Veterans.

Changing Gears.....
It's been a long hard road for this 3 year Veterans Project.
It's amazing that a guy in Canada can hear about our project in America from Facebook, then go to his government and get his own stamp introduced to help the Veterans in his country before we can. Congratulations go to the Canadian Government and Mr. Dave Murphy for supporting their Canadian Soldiers. A job well done for sure.
When Dave first saw our project on Facebook, he contacted me and asked how Canadians could sign the petition because for some reason our website wouldn't allow him to sign his name. Not soon after, I read on Facebook that Mr. Murphy introduced a stamp honoring the Canadian Soldiers. The Canadian government recognized the benefits of the project and there is a stamp you can buy today in Canada and the proceeds help Veterans.
The time for sitting back and waiting is over! My father and I have met many people out there who have asked us "Why do we even have to debate this?" Our response is always the same,"That's a great question."
If this is your first time here, please take a moment and sign our petition. You may also want to become a subscriber to this website. We will now be posting daily information on our progress and we plan to use it as the sole vehicle for communication with our supporters.
If you have already signed the petition thanks, join this RSS feed or become a follower to keep more informed. Join in the conversations and help us spread the word.
If you support our Veterans, I would encourage you to join in on the fun. We have plenty of ways that anyone out there in internet land can help us make this entire project a reality. I need people interested in sending a few emails or making a few phone calls.
We need a breath of fresh air to help our efforts move forward. It's all for our Veterans. So, what do you think.....You in?

11.3.2009 - NC - VFW Supports the Project!
If you will check out the list in the previous post, you will see that the first name is the Veterans of Foreign Wars, NC Chapter. The State Commander sent us a letter earlier in the month saying they voted on it and decided to support us! This is huge for the Veterans Petition overall because without formal support from the Veterans, Congress won't consider it. Now, the Veterans of North Carolina and all of those Towns that have given us formal resolutions of support have given us the gas we needed to charge ahead even faster.
Stay Tuned, it's about to get busy up in here!

11.02.2009 - Over 4,500,000 Americans Support this project
Hello everybody and welcome to our updated website. 4 years ago my Dad came up with an idea to get Congress to help our Veterans by producing and selling to the public coins, bonds and stamps bearing the Tomb of the Unknowns. The proceeds from the sales of these items would go to helping fund additional services not currently offered to Veterans and their families in need!
In the paragraphs below you will see the most current list we have of Cities and Towns across America who have joined us to gain the attention of Congress. Each of the Towns or Organizations below have formally adopted formal resolutions of support for this project. Collectively, based on numbers we compiled from the internet these towns represent over 4,500,000 Americans. Not to mention, we have collected almost 20,000 signatures of individual Americans from all over the country.
We have spoken to our Congressional Leaders but for some reason we still need to convince them to listen. We need your help in making this a reality sooner rather later. We have come a long way over the last few months, but there is still a long road ahead. Help us today by sending an email saying you support the Veterans Petition. Just click on the link in the right hand column and remember to include your contact information as well as a brief statement of support. You can also subscribe as a follower and keep up with our progress along the way.
