The World War II Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. The WWII Foundation travels the world chronicling the personal stories of the veterans and survivors of WWII, in a documentary film medium, then donates those films to American Public Television, schools and libraries, so that future generations have a global forum in which to hear the oral histories of those who lived through one of the most heroic, and horrific time periods in the history of the world.
Our mission is fulfilled through the following pursuits:
Education
We enlighten populations of students, citizens, specialized audiences with videos, PBS specials, and through repositories such as libraries, schools and museums. In addition, the commissioning of monuments honoring individual or collective triumphs during WWII will also be emphasized.
Inspiration
We provide opportunities for reflection on leadership and the attributes which are associated with men and women in military environments.
Honor
We want to recognize those who have served in exceptional circumstances and sacrificed for their country during World War II.
Preservation
We will document through video and multi-media the histories and personal stories of veterans and survivors in history-making military battles and events.
Memorialize
By emphasizing the building of memorials and monuments around the world we are ensuring the permanence of the record of America’s greatest individual and collective successes and goals of preserving freedom and democracy.
