Historic Records
This 1950's Ponytail 45rpm record
holder is as much a piece of history as the Elvis Presley
records that are inside. Records no longer exist, but to
know that once children listened to 78, 45, and 33 1/2 records
instead of CD's is a piece of history that we should enjoy
remembering.

 Historic
Documents and books
telling the true story about our nation's history and the
events comprising it should be carefully stocked and regarded
as doorways to the past where can be found keys to a better
future. We must preserve our nation's history for without
it, we have no substance, no fond memories to inspire us,
no bad memories to remind us of fate. We have nothing but
the uncertainty of the future.

 FIGHTING
TO SAVE OUR HISTORY
One of the more serious issues threatening
our country and our American citizens today is the lack of importance
placed on American History in the elementary grades. While No
Child Left Behind Act is affirmative insurance toward ALL children
receiving proper and graded education, history is not categorized
as a test-graded subject, therefore, it's significance in the
mainstream early curriculum is quickly vanishing. With a promise
by our new president to bring educational standards into the 21st
century, very little room is left to learn about those previous
centuries by whose mistakes we should continue to learn from.
Already major universities and National
Parks have adopted the New Birth of Freedom theme which enables
the African-American history to be taught first and foremost,
with less emphasis now being put on other cultures including the
Native American society, also one of our nation's earliest inhabitants.
With the new rise of political correctness, much of what we knew
as our American History is either being erased, re-written, or
re-directed.
It is fair and just to portray ALL Americans in an equal light.
It is unfair and unjust to refuse one sect over another, and it
is a cause of civil rights injustice to openly prevent one sect
from honoring their history and heritage. Today, all things Confederate
are no more allowed to be discussed, viewed, memorialized, or
reflected upon--if we were to give into those whose mission is
to take away the truth of history, if not the history itself.
We will not forget that Southern fighting men were American veterans,
too, and had contributed to our nation's history.
Today, who will accept the blame for teaching our children that
where they came from, and where their ancestors came from, matters
not in a world tempted by greed and material goods? Who will take
the blame for condemning the founding father's and the document
they labored to design for the purpose of establishing and carrying
on a free country? Who will help us preserve the history of our
great country and the many heritages of every American citizen?
The fight to save our history and heritage starts here. Help us
tell the truth for one and all.
