| | Dear Bobby,
You probably know me as someone who is not a fan of big government. I believe in giving taxpayers back THEIR money and letting them use it how they see fit. After all the things this government spends money on, they've decided they are going to draw the line when it comes to remembering and commemorating World War II.
75 years ago in December, Pearl Harbor was hit, leading the US to enter WWII and stop fascist tyranny in its tracks. But the United States government has no plans to invite in this historic occasion this Memorial Day.
That's right, US Government who recently spent $200,000 on tattoo removal for people, $1.8 million on a Neon Light Museum, and $30 million to help Pakistani farmers produce more mangos, refuse to spend a cent over the next four years to honor and remember our WWII veterans.
Now is the time when we as Americans stand up and show our WWII veterans that even though your government won't spend a cent remembering you, we as private citizens WILL!
This year marks World War II's 75th Anniversary, and it will likely be the last one for many of our nation's WWII veterans. I wish my father was around to see this one.
My father fought alongside some great men. He enlisted in the US Navy at 17 and served aboard the USS Long Island, which saw combat in the Pacific. At age 17!
This NATIONAL Memorial Day Parade will help our WWII veterans and especially their families know that America remembers all that you have done for us. It says loud and clear "We will not forget you."
This Memorial Day Parade is really only the starting point of what the American Veterans Center does for our World War II veterans.
I hope you will consider a tax deductible gift to help The American Veterans Center to celebrate our living WWII veterans and remembering those who gave it all, and never made it back home.
Because this parade is all about remembering, I want to give you something to remember our World War II veterans.
If you give a gift of $75 today to help remember our WWII veterans, I'll send you two special vials of sand – one from the black sands of Iwo Jima, and the other from D-Day's Omaha beach in Normandy. If you're on a tight budget, then I hope you might consider a gift of $43, for which I'll have the American Veterans Center send you a vial of sand from just Omaha Beach.
Think about it: imagine you're a World War II veteran and you realize you may not have much more time left on God's green earth. Would you want to leave knowing that 75 years later our country barely remembers your sacrifice? Or do you want to go in peace, knowing that 75 years after your service they still remember what you and your friends fought and died for?!?
I want to make sure than the WWII veterans that are still left and the families of our WWII veterans know America is grateful.
Please stand up and help us honor our veterans when our government won't by supporting the American Veterans Center's annual National Memorial Day Parade today.
Thank you,
Laura Ingraham
P.S. The National Memorial Day Parade is the kick-off celebration for our WWII veterans. Our government isn't doing anything to help. Please stand up and show them while the government may be idle, loyal Americans are not.
If you give a gift of $75 today to help remember our WWII veterans, I'll send you TWO vials of sand: One from the black sands of Iwo Jima; and the other from Omaha beach in Normandy as symbols of the sacrifices our vets have made.
