The Impact of our Programs on Country
The McCormick Foundation:
- established the McCormick Freedom Museum, the nation’s first museum devoted
to freedom and the First Amendment. High-tech and highly-interactive, the museum's mission is to inspire people
to understand, value and protect freedom.
- through its First Infantry Division Foundation and the Society of the First Infantry Division,
provides emergency support
to the families of soldiers wounded and killed in Iraq.
- has helped Bugles Across America train and recruit more than 5,000 volunteer horn players
to play funerals and memorials for fallen U.S. soldiers in all 50 states and overseas. These
volunteers have participated in nearly 45,000 military funerals since the organization
was founded in 2000.
- and its Journalism Program has held more than 230 workshops, conferences and seminars to help advance
the ideals of a free press and protect
against newspaper censorship.
