| On the eleventh
hour, of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, the World
War to end all wars ceased.
In 1926 through a Congressional Resolution, President Woodrow
Wilson proclaimed November 11, to be forever known as “Armistice
Day”.
Shortly there after a small group of highly successful entrepreneurs
made the committal to seed the assets of the Forget-Me-Not Foundation.
Their idealistic hope was to continually remind Americans of the
sacrifices made by the veterans of War and to insure them the
respect, they deserved.
It was the Foundations mission to become the “watch dog” of those,
who had served. They chose to. accomplish this worthy cause by
remaining anonymous and thereby avoiding the limelight of publicity
. To this day and “four wars “later, this “idea” is alive and
well.
By the year of 2000, this original charter group of a few individuals
had grown into an extensive assemblage of caring people who currently
extend their “eagle eye” and “helping hand” to elders from all
walks of life.
Attrition has changed the names of the “Successful Entrepreneurs”
who administrate The Forget Me Not Foundation, but the dedication
and the mission remains the same.
