Battlefield Return
From the shores of Normandy to the black volcanic sands of Iwo Jima…The Best Defense Foundation ensures that any WWII veteran who wants a measure of closure or the recognition he so richly deserves has an opportunity to return to his battlefield. At these unique battleground reunions our veterans have received numerous awards, such as the French Legion of Honor, and have been honored at dozens of events and parades.
Education Initiative
Although recognized as The Greatest Generation, fewer and fewer people remember the sacrifices made by our WWII veterans. We launched The Best Defense Video Archive to educate our young and preserve this living history for future generations. Our library of videos, photographs and testimonials are a first party account of heroism, tragedy, acts of bravery and acts of liberation.
