A Collection of documentaries by George Ciampa

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction....It must be fought for, protected, and handed on to them (future generations) to do the same.”   - Ronald Reagan

The mission of LET FREEDOM RING is to educate young adults on the meaning and high cost of FREEDOM... to stress the sacrifices made by young servicemen and women to ensure that we all can continue to enjoy the freedoms we have. So many of those who have given their lives for freedom were not much older than the target audience.  Freedom is not free. Today the history of this era is not commonly known by many younger Americans and others. Too often people take freedom for granted and never realize that there is always a chance for it to be taken away.

Titles include:

They Will Never Forget
They Will Never Forget relates the stories of dozens of adopters, ranging in age from seven to ninety years of age, of one or more American soldiers' graves at the Henri-Chapelle American Military Cemetery in Belgium. In doing so, they pay tribute and choose never to forget their liberators who gave their lives.
