"It is a pleasure to offer my most enthusiastic endorsement of All Aboard America's Freedom Train. I applaud you and your colleagues and submit that your work should be on the bookshelves of every child in the U.S.A.
Freedom is not free! Our youth should know the story of the founding of our republic and be grounded thoroughly in the traditional values of liberty and sacrifice that are the cornerstones of our great nation. Your book tells this valuable story in a compelling, powerful way.
In an era when only 50 percent of the adults in our nation can name correctly our three branches of government, educating our young people on our founding values becomes even more critical. Your work is crucial to the proper development of the future leaders of our society, and I appreciate you!"
