Do Your Kids Know
How Good They’ve Got It?
“Americans Today Enjoy a Quality of Life That Would Have Seemed Unimaginable Throughout Most of Human History”
Grandpa Knows
Being Overseas Gave Me a New Appreciation for America!
After decades of traveling around the world, I have seen firsthand how difficult everyday life can be for millions of people.
I’ve seen families without enough food, children without clean water, communities without adequate healthcare or education, and people without freedoms we often take for granted.
Those experiences taught me something I desperately want my grandchildren—and yours—to understand: we have been tremendously blessed.
Grandpa Knows was created to help a new generation see those blessings, become grateful for them, and discover just how good we’ve got it in America.
“Never Before Has a Generation Enjoyed the Opportunities, Conveniences, and Prosperity That We Have in America.”
