My New Project


Eleven years ago, I retired from the U.S. Air Force. Because of my situation, I retired with no education benefits. A few years after I retired, I was notified that I qualified for the new Post-9/11 GI Bill. That was really good news. By 2012, I had decided to use that benefit to pursue a bachelor's degree in business. And now, I just graduated in May 2015!

I started working on my business degree with the idea that I would graduate and look for a job in management or perhaps start my own business. But over the course of these three years, I became acutely aware of fundamental issues in American culture that are slowly destroying us. I discovered that many of our problems stem from deeply ingrained values that most of us hold as Americans. One of these is an overriding sense of individualism, that tends to crowd out more benevolent virtues.

As time has progressed, I have felt a strong need to make efforts to use my new knowledge and skills to help establish a new moral foundation based on values that unite our people. My first effort in that direction, beyond this blog, involves the upcoming presidential election.

Below is a link to my Prefundia.com project, which explains more. I'm asking that you help me out by clicking on the link and giving your input on what you see there. It has a place for comments below the project description. Prefundia.com is intended to help people refine their projects before taking them to crowd-funding sources.

Please click and make a comment! Thank you. Emil
