To this end, I respectfully ask that you thoughtfully acknowledge that many of these established institutions and organizations are the recipients of substantial public support – that is often wholly subsidized by taxpayer money – that is provided directly by government at the municipal, county, state, and federal levels. Notably, these entities have long enjoyed this sustained governmental and taxpayer support for many years, often for decades. These entities also receive very significant support from corporations and foundations including sizable matching grants that often tally in the tens of millions of dollars. Lastly, many of the leaders oof these professional efforts, institutions, and organizations are dedicated but highly compensated executives that never served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

In sharp contrast, the success of this veteran-owned film project – which is dedicated to telling the story of how the nation’s first veterans saved the American Revolution at Saratoga – is wholly dependent on support from the private sector and the generosity of our fellow citizens. Please know that this compelling film will simply not reach the silver screen without the timely and generous support of the nation’s patriots, veterans, and private sector. With the approach of the 250th anniversary of the nation’s fight for independence and founding, we ask that you make a very considered judgment and look to pointedly support efforts such as this independent film project that truly needs your generous support.

The heroes that saved the America Revolution at Saratoga did their part when all appeared to be lost and American desperately needed a miracle in the early autumn of 1777.

Now, another miracle is indeed needed. We must do our part to bring this story to the widest possible audience in time for the 250th anniversary of the victory at Saratoga on October 17, 2027. Please support this mission that seeks to honor America’s heroic origins and our national heritage.
