Operation Project American
Life
“Children should be educated
and instructed in the principles of freedom.” ~ John Adams
Mission Statement: Project American Life rekindles
America’s founding principles by
inspiring young people to understand and appreciate our Founders’ noble ideals,
sacred honor, and ultimate sacrifices ~ thus compelling a new generation
to uphold these standards in all aspects of their lives.
The
Results are Self-evident: By
providing inspirational exploration into American history,
P.A.L. brings to life the noble dreams of our Founders
and the classic virtues that they embodied. The four-day
residential challenge is a series of experiential classes
and simulations that foster an impassioned zeal for seizing
the duties of American citizenship! Not only do students
discover the wisdom of our Founders, they also are inspired
to walk in their shoes. In revealing the insight within
The Declaration of Independence and the “sacred honor”
of its signers, P.A.L. imparts a deep appreciation
for The Founders’ ideals and the sacrifices they made
on our behalf. It binds students to their own duty to
Life, Liberty, and the Highest Good ~ to
reach beyond the smallness of immediate gratification
and seize life’s greatest gifts (“endowed by their Creator”)
~ the wondrous opportunity to serve a cause greater
than self.
“Winston Churchill said that ‘the destiny of man is not
measured by material computation. When great forces are
on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits, not animals.’
And he said, ‘There is something going on in time and space,
and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or
not, spells duty.’ You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.
We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope
of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last
step into a thousand years of darkness.” ~ Ronald Reagan
