    I believe the recognition of the men and women of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archive section (“MFAA”), known as the “Monuments Men,” is long overdue. During World War II and for years following the Allied victory, members of the MFAA worked tirelessly to locate, identify, catalogue, and repatriate priceless works of art and irreplaceable cultural artifacts, including masterpieces by Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt and Vermeer, that had had been stolen by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.

    Their heroic actions saved priceless works of art and irreplaceable cultural artifacts for future generations and set a moral precedent and established standards, practices, and procedures for the preservation, protection, and restitution of artistic and cultural treasures in future armed conflicts.

    Monuments Men went on to become renowned directors and curators of preeminent international cultural institutions, including the National Gallery of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Toledo Museum, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, as well as professors at institutions of higher education, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, New York University, Williams College, and Columbia University.

    They have never been collectively honored for their service and contributions to humanity, and they are deserving of the utmost acknowledgment, gratitude, and recognition, in particular the 13 known Monuments Men who are still alive.

    Time is of the essence. Two of our Monuments Men heroes have died in the past four months. Please support H.Con.Res. 48 and encourage your fellow members of Congress to support it by contacting Ms. Catherine Knowles in Congresswoman Granger’s office (clk.knowles@mail.house.gov)

    I believe the recognition of the men and women of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archive section (“MFAA”), known as the “Monuments Men,” is long overdue. During World War II and for years following the Allied victory, members of the MFAA worked tirelessly to locate, identify, catalogue, and repatriate priceless works of art and irreplaceable cultural artifacts, including masterpieces by Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt and Vermeer, that had had been stolen by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.

    Their heroic actions saved priceless works of art and irreplaceable cultural artifacts for future generations and set a moral precedent and established standards, practices, and procedures for the preservation, protection, and restitution of artistic and cultural treasures in future armed conflicts.

    Monuments Men went on to become renowned directors and curators of preeminent international cultural institutions, including the National Gallery of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Toledo Museum, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, as well as professors at institutions of higher education, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, New York University, Williams College, and Columbia University.

    They have never been collectively honored for their service and contributions to humanity, and they are deserving of the utmost acknowledgment, gratitude, and recognition, in particular the 12 known Monuments Men who are still alive.

    Time is of the essence. Two of our Monuments Men heroes have died in the past four months. Please support H.Con.Res. 48 and encourage your fellow members of Congress to support it by contacting Ms. Catherine Knowles in Congresswoman Granger’s office (clk.knowles@mail.house.gov)

    I believe the recognition of the men and women of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archive section (“MFAA”), known as the “Monuments Men,” is long overdue. During World War II and for years following the Allied victory, members of the MFAA worked tirelessly to locate, identify, catalogue, and repatriate priceless works of art and irreplaceable cultural artifacts, including masterpieces by Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt and Vermeer, that had had been stolen by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.

    Their heroic actions saved priceless works of art and irreplaceable cultural artifacts for future generations and set a moral precedent and established standards, practices, and procedures for the preservation, protection, and restitution of artistic and cultural treasures in future armed conflicts.

    Monuments Men went on to become renowned directors and curators of preeminent international cultural institutions, including the National Gallery of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Toledo Museum, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, as well as professors at institutions of higher education, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, New York University, Williams College, and Columbia University.

    They have never been collectively honored for their service and contributions to humanity, and they are deserving of the utmost acknowledgment, gratitude, and recognition, in particular the 12 known Monuments Men who are still alive.

    Time is of the essence. Two of our Monuments Men heroes have died in the past four months. Please support H.Con.Res. 48 and encourage your fellow members of Congress to support it by contacting Ms. Catherine Knowles in Congresswoman Granger’s office (clk.knowles@mail.house.gov)

    A resolution is clearly in order and time is running out. To our detriment, the arts are an increasingly neglected part of Western Civilization. The efforts of these men should not be part of that neglect. It is in out power to easily prevent it.

    We should NEVER forget the sacrifices for FREEDOM that were made for US in WWII by our FATHERS. We have a SHORT TERM MEMORY! These people must be honored for saving our artistic achievements for future generations from a MADMAN and there are more like him on the horizon. We must CHERISH our FREEDOM and NEVER let our GUARD down to PROTECT it always. SEMPER FI!!!My father was in the FIRST MARINE DIVISION IN WWII and I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN WITH JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES AND ETHICS UPON WHICH THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED!!!
