The American Veterans Center is a non-profit Veterans organization and division of the American Studies Center. The mission of the American Veterans Center is to "preserve and promote the legacy of America’s servicemen and women from World War II through Operation Iraqi Freedom." The American Studies Center has funded numerous events and projects at the American Veterans Center such as; the National Memorial Day Parade, the Annual Veterans Day weekend conference and awards banquet, a quarterly publication (''American Valor Quarterly''), two different hour-long radio programs (''Veterans Chronicles'' and ''Proudly We Hail''), Wounded Warrior dinners and receptions for veterans recovering at Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval Hospitals, The Andrew J. Goodpaster Lecture, and the conducting of oral history interviews of veterans from all conflicts and archiving their self-published books and journals, photographs, maps, and supplies. ==History== The American Veterans Center is an outgrowth of the World War II Veterans Committee which itself grew out of ''World War II Chronicles'', a weekly radio series co-produced by Radio America (another project of the American Studies Center) and the national Archives. The World War II Veterans Committee was founded in 1996 and was responsible for several activities and projects including an annual ''Chesty Puller Award'' and an ''Audie Murphy Award. The Committee’s motto was "From the Greatest Generation to the Latest Generation", and most of their activities focused on educating America's youth about the legacy of the WWII generation. In 2005, the National Vietnam Veterans Committee was formed to pursue a parallel education mission for America's Vietnam veterans, and in 2006 both organizations were combined under the umbrella of the American Veterans Center, with the mission of honoring the service of all America's Veterans "From World War II to Operation Iraqi Freedom," as well as active duty personnel. Since the Combination of the two committees in 2006 the American Veterans Center has seen significant growth and has produced and sponsored numerous events and panels including the 2008 erection of a baseball field on Guam in honor of the fallen WWII Marine on Iwo Jima and former star athlete and baseball pitcher Jimmy Trimble (James Trimble III) of St. Albans School in Washington, D.C.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Legacy of Jimmy Trible )〕 *American Veterans Conference- Annually on Veterans Day Weekend in Washington D.C. *National Memorial Day Parade- The Nation's largest Memorial Day Parade every year on Memorial Day in Washington D.C. *American Valor Quarterly- A quarterly publication produced by the American Veterans Center with stories written by distinguished veterans and military historians. *Veterans Chronicles with Gene Pell"-A weekly radio program produced and syndicated by Radio America airing live from 11:00 pm – 12:00 am ET on Sunday *Proudly We Hail-A weekly radio program syndicated by Radio America airing live from 12:00 am – 1:00 am ET on Monday *Andrew J.
