Our Mission
AHEF is a non-profit, non-partisan educational foundation dedicated to the understanding and teaching of America's factual and philosophical heritage to promote constructive citizenship and Freedom, Unity, Progress, and Responsibility among our students and citizens.

AHEF accomplishes this patriotic mission by writing, producing, and distributing FREE K-12 lesson plans to teachers, students, and families in all 50 states and through additional initiatives, programs, and partnerships.

"When you go home, tell them for us and say, 'For your tomorrows, we gave our today.'"  --Semper Fi, American Marines
Iwo Jima Island, 1945

"Effective, cohesive, and positive self-government in a free democratic republic such as America requires an informed and educated citizenry for the survival of our participatory democracy. ...We are in danger of forgetting this lesson.  ...We cannot see clearly ahead if we are blind to history. ...[I]ndicators point to a worsening case of America amnesia."
--Dr. Bruce Cole, President, American Revolution Center
Former Chairman, National Endowment for the Humanities

"Citizens kept ignorant of their history are robbed of the riches of their heritage, and handicapped in their ability to understand and appreciate other cultures. ...[A] nation that does not know why it exists, or what it stands for, cannot be expected to long endure."
