Purpose:
The Foundation's purpose is to perpetuate the education of Americans, in particular those of school age. Helping to provide
educational materials that teach civics and history, providing relevant and interesting teaching materials that highlight the
contributions made and the results achieved by those men and women who served and died in the Armed Force Services of
our country obtaining, preserving and protecting the freedoms and rights of Americans and our allies. The Foundation will

To cooperate, to the extent deemed feasible and desirable with other organizations in promoting education about freedom

whose lives also are profoundly impacted by their service to our country and in aid of our country's allies.

To act as a permanent repository for archive materials regarding Vietnam and later military experiences.

History:
Three years ago a team of these veterans (and interested non-military civilians) took a fully restored Vietnam war bird known
as "Huey 091" on a six week journey across the nation visiting numerous educational, civilian, and military venues - including
all three of the service academies. This mission is chronicled at the website www.americashuey.com.

Since that historic journey, Huey 091 has been resting at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in
Washington, DC. There she will stay for at least the next 30 years as the centerpiece of the museum's "Price of Freedom"
exhibit. "Huey 091" is the largest single artifact in the "Price of Freedom" exhibit.

Thousands of photographs were made as well as 90 hours of videotape chronicling this historic journey. Now, after three
years, the stories, with video footage and photos are going to be edited into various education modules to be added to the
curricula of children from elementary school through high school. This history of service and sacrifice to our country will be
presented in a way that does not exist in today's textbooks. Already, school districts in Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania are
committed to this project. Eventually, through the efforts of the Huey – 091 Education Foundation, these educational modules
will be carried by hundreds of school districts across our nation.

The "Huey 091" project is just the beginning. Many other projects related to the Foundation's purpose will be developed and
presented to this nation's greatest resource, our youngest citizens.
