Welcome to USA First
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. ~Frederick Douglass
Children represent the future of our great nation ...Where are the next business owners and job creators? What are our children being taught today about important and everlasting American values such as capitalism, fair profit, and how to be a patriotic and productive member of society?
Where are children being taught the Pledge of Allegiance and the value of an oath, a handshake, and the spoken word?
USA1ST is a new movement, of tried and proven ideals, designed to assist our schools to provide a better education to our children; an education which not only trains our children for college, but educates our children to the ways of the business world, and prepares them to be good employees, good managers, and good entrepreneurs. USA1ST accomplishes this through a thoroughly patriotic theme, rekindling the fire and spirit of our founding fathers who willingly pledged their futures and fortunes on the creation of our great nation. USA1ST helps you and your schools teach your children the values and rewards of good, hard work and appreciation of those who support our country and its goals..

The clip, Lost Generations, is rather difficult to listen to if you believe in today’s young people. My first reaction was I don’t like this attitude and don’t what to hear it. But with some gentle persuasion from the writer I stayed tuned. It was worth it. It’s a read of a piece of literature that is negative from the start to the end but when heard from the end to the first, literally, it becomes very positive. I suggest you listen to it, I think you’ll like it.

Cry Freedom – A Cry of Inspiration
Music is one of the most powerful form of communication; entire cultures are often changed by the strength of music. Music is not just a force for the young; it is a force for the world.
This video was graciously donated for use by USA1ST by its producer. It is moving, and speaks well to the mindset of USA1ST and its mission.
If you have enjoyed this music and our mission, please pass this site along to a friend and ask them to find out more about USA1ST.
There are many noble causes in the world and many people who need a helping hand. If we hope to help as many as we can, we must first be strong ourselves, and be prepared to meet the challenges modern society presents each of us every day.
Enrich your family, then enrich your church and schools your children attend so they – in turn – may enrich the world. Strength derived from a strong foundation creates soaring ideals and goals well met.
Many of us shall remember the overpowering visual of a person looking out at the wonders of this land we call America with outstretched arms and raising hands up high to give thanks for the gifts given before him. What a powerful, wonderful song and video. Share it today!
USA 1st was founded by concerned private citizens who want to enhance the teaching of patriotism in our schools, to reinforce lessons about our country’s role as the world’s strongest voice for liberty and freedom. We are proud to be Americans and believe that our system and our country are the greatest in the history of the world. The Statue of Liberty, and her torch of freedom and hope, is an enduring image that represents our role among nations. We are committed to developing educational programs that teach and honor the principles our country was founded on. more... Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom. ~John Adams 1787
Business Incubator Labs Creates Real Interaction
USA_First_Patriot writes:
USA1ST believes there is one thing America has always done well… business! President Calvin Coolidge, in 1925 addressing the American Society of Newspaper Editors in Washington famously said, “After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world.” The founding fathers of our great nation overwhelmingly were business owners themselves, and established key do*****ents to insure others may follow their example and become successful business owners. In secondary education we have been distracted from this primary desire. Functioning business incubator labs in high schools with direct participation of local businesses, will bring the realities of business directly to students.
Business owners and leaders want to talk to student to show them the path they themselves once traveled.
Students want to talk to real business owners to find the path they themselves should take to become successful Americans.
Businesses want input in education to ensure they to will be part of the educational process, so they might find young entrepreneurs to add to their successful enterprises.
Businesses want to show what they do on a daily basis so students can put a face behind private enterprise.
All parties agree – parents, educators, business owners, and USA1ST terms such as “capitalism,” “profit,” “hard work and the value of commitment” are areas which need to be emphasized and experienced business people can best demonstrate the value of these ideals.
All parties also agree all involved must have a vested interest, and a business lab must not be the single program initiated to insure success.
Finally, the ins and outs of business can be taught most effectively by current business owners to have the greatest impact, and must be done in a volunteer program to achieve the proper benchmarks.

America’s Day Keeps the Spirit Moving

America’s Day is the fourth program administered by USA1ST. Even though there are established holidays which could be featured as “America’s Day,” in the end, no school needs a preset holiday to celebrate America.

The Pledge and the Promise Fundraiser
jlajax writes:
What could USA1ST accomplish in one hour at your school? A great deal.
First, what we are not about: USA1st does not do politics, and does not do a put on by a professional troupe.
The Pledge and the Promise fundraising from USA1ST is a singular event which is:
Remarkable, unusual and striking, ranking above normal fundraising events.
It will trigger a special set of a cir*****stance leading to action.
It will be both social and personal for all attending, with positive, far-reaching implications.
The event itself will be:
Multimedia, utilizing video, current music, and live speakers.
Interactive, with audience participation utilizing a live DJ on stage.
Presented using a carefully choreographed series of unvarnished images, appropriate for all age groups.
An emotional rollercoaster for all in audience and on the stage, causing a rededication to America and our schools.
A social triggering event for our students, their parents, and their teachers.
An emotionally charged atmosphere evoking joy, pride, and patriotism.
An unique fundraising tool to strengthen each secondary school.

USA1ST, Patriots Creating Unity, Join Us.
A message from the founder of USA1st
Right now, in our great nation, too many people are seeking political solutions. Politics are seldom the answer or the solution – politics are only a byproduct of the current events which have already taken place. We have become divided… the indivisible have become divisible. This is a great example of politics.
USA1ST has been created to unify. We seek our path to the future within the very shadow of our children.
To us the path is clear; we can – and must – rediscover the values which have always made our country strong. USA1ST believes in faith in a higher calling, patriotism for country and it’s every day heroes, and the private sector and capitalism. To rediscover our future, we must first return these primary building blocks to our secondary schools. High school students must be adequately prepared to deal with the world they are about to enter full time.
As we search for the answers we need to start at home because the American Dream is not lost. It is right there within the very eyes, hearts and minds of our children. If you look in their eyes this very day, you will see hope springs eternal. But, there is one other thing you may see, and this we must change.
Collectively as parents, educators, and representatives of the private sector, we have not been good stewards of the American Dream. We are not pointing fingers at you or any one group; remember our goal is to unite. While well intentioned, when divided, we are all part of the problem; while united we all represent the solution.
The problems our nation faces are substantial, but they can be tamed and overcome together, privately – not governmentally. Even well-intentioned government is never the answer for things which affect the heart, spirit, or soul. It is now as it has always been: a framework and path to our eventual success.
Even as we stand together, one key element must still be brought into the circle… business/entrepreneurs.

Patriots Creating Unity, ALL Are Welcome To Join Us.

Proudly Promoting Patriotism In Our Schools
A message from the founder of USA1st
Hello, my name is Don Pierce and I am the founder of USA1st. I wanted to take a brief moment to thank you personally for visiting our website. I would like to ask you a question, are you worried about America’s future? I am.
USA1st has been a concept in the making for over five years. Everyone from my wife, my children, my friends and our staff has worked hard to bring this idea to reality. Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to own several businesses; I have taught in vocational schools and I have served my country in the military. I am married and have two lovely children, both currently attending a school. Another question, do you believe our children represent the future of America? I do.
