Press release (Nov. 8, 2011) — During Veteran's Day week 2011, the Bill of Rights Institute will pay tribute to veterans past and present by donating $1 of every $10 of curriculum sales to Veterans Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization that helps veterans re-gain control of their lives in order to eliminate homelessness among veterans.
