Friends of the American Revolution (FAR) Credo:
We envisage keeping one of our greatest sanctioned historical landmarks alive – Fortress West Point. It is one of Old New York’s age-old strongholds revered by veterans, but the new generation takes it for granted. A FAR embraced the unthinkable in collaboration with the U.S. Army and West Point Garrison Commanders. Albeit a peerless joint venture constructed from the ground up that soon gained momentum in conserving landmarks and relics that wrote America’s founding stone narrative.

Impact of the Time-honored Fortress West Point
FWP deserves recognition in the USA to a degree that it overshadows the Statue of Liberty’s significance. The momentous landmark stood its ground when outsiders breached the outskirts of North America. Fortress West Point manifested with George Washington’s fortifying orders in 1778. Polish Colonel Thaddeus Kosciuszko and a batch of engineers inducted the keynote landmark with forts, batteries, and redoubts. Unquestionably, Fortress West Point became the Wall of America that arrested every historical account under its bastions.
Several factors contributed to this fortress’s credibility.
01.
Resting at a key strategic location near the Hudson River, where high ground and natural defences abundantly covered the territory.
02.
Fortress West Point offered a strategic route, supply line, and defence system for the ad hoc American colonies.
03.
It played a pivotal role in bringing about the American Revolution. Plus, it paved the way for General George Washington’s successful defensive strategy.
The establishment of the United States Military Academy and Education and Training Center are two noteworthy mentions that make West Point’s stronghold America’s cornerstone.
FAR Fortress West Point Preservation Efforts
Our strategic master plan is underway in coordination with the aforementioned military entities. Our scheme of action is swift, with elapsing time impending and no room for error.
The reason
was the restoration of Fortress West Point in the next two years, before the 250th Independence Day, and to lay the groundwork for the American Revolution Renaissance. If FAR fails its mission, Fortress West Point will be lost in the next 20-30 years without leaving a trace. So, if you wish to witness America’s resurgence in the next two years, this is it! Contributing a little part of your patriotism would mean the world to the Friends of the American Revolution (FAR).
“Today, Fortress West Point exists on hallowed grounds. It’s alarming to see the squared towering landmark sinking where it stands; it rings the bell to revive the American Revolution spirit in us.”
We aim to secure a substantial sum of $11,300,000 via crowdfunding and State sponsorship. FARWP has also planned a maintenance deposit to preserve the fortress sites at West Point using dry-laid stone masonry methods. Astonishingly, these fortifications will survive the next 250 years if things go as planned by the FARWP.
