Vietnam war bird known as “Huey 091” on a six week journey across the nation. Since that historic journey, Huey 091 has been resting at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. There she will stay for at least the next 30 years as the centerpiece –and largest single artifact–of the museum’s “Price of Freedom” exhibit. Her historic journey was captured in thousands of photographs and hours of videotape. These materials will be edited into various education modules which will be added to the curricula of children from elementary school through high school. This history of service and sacrifice to our country will be presented in a way not found in today’s textbooks. Through the efforts of the Huey 091 Education Foundation, these educational modules will be carried by hundreds of school districts across our nation.
The “Huey 091” project is just the beginning. Many other projects related to the Foundation’s purpose will be developed and presented to this nation’s greatest resource, our youngest citizens.
Americas Huey 091 Foundation has three missions:
Education
To perpetuate the education of Americans, in particular those of school age. Helping to provide educational materials that teach civics and history, providing relevant and interesting teaching materials that highlight the contributions made and the results achieved by those men and women who served and died in the Armed Force Services of our country obtaining, preserving and protecting the freedoms and rights of Americans and our allies. The Foundation will promote educational curricula and teachings
of the many sacrifices made by the men and women who have served our country from the War of Independence to today.
To teach of the role of the helicopter during the Vietnam war and beyond, and to tell the stories of heroism, freedom and citizenship which resonate with children and adults alike, all with the goal of preserving and promoting peace and goodwill.
To cooperate, to the extent deemed feasible and desirable with other organizations in promoting education about freedom and the price of freedom and the roles of our service men and women who profoundly impact and protect our freedoms and whose lives also are profoundly impacted by their service to our country and in aid of our country’s allies.
To act as a permanent repository for archive materials regarding Vietnam and later military experiences.
Providing Assistive Devices, Tools and Training to Severely Injured Servicemen
To raise funds, at times in cooperation with other non-profit organizations, to purchase and provide assistive devices like the Ibot® mobility system to severely wounded and impaired veterans and to assist such veterans and their families with travel arrangements to facilitate rehabilitation and training in the use of such devices.
Support for Families
To provide logistical and other support to non-profit organizations like Snowball Express, assisting military family members who have lost spouses, fathers and mothers in the global conflict against terror.
