Heritage Programs

FoWB offers a special program based on ancestral connections: the WILDERNESS BRIGADE. The program offers a special connection for living relatives to the hallowed ground where their ancestors walked and sadly, in some cases, gave their lives for their country. The information supplied by the applications provides in-depth and sometimes poignant histories of these very men and women who helped shape the direction of America.
