Patriot Mobile was honored to co-sponsor a special fundraiser supporting the American Journey Experience—an unforgettable gathering focused on preserving truth, history, and the enduring principles that founded America.
The American Journey Experience (AJE), powered by Mercury One, is a museum and educational center located in Irving, Texas, and home to more than 150,000 rare and irreplaceable historical artifacts. Through immersive exhibits and hands-on learning, AJE brings American history to life—moving beyond memorized dates and names to tell the stories that explain why our nation was founded and what it was meant to be.
AJE offers year-round educational programs, including church and school tours, family seminars, summer institutes for young adults, traveling museum exhibits, and weekly museum tours. This year, AJE has reached thousands of individuals across the country, equipping them with historical truth and inspiring them to engage their communities with clarity and conviction.
During the evening, AJE Founder Glenn Beck shared the heart behind the mission. He spoke passionately about restoring history as story—something meant to be experienced, not merely studied. From original drafts of the Declaration of Independence to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s wheelchair, Beck explained how encountering authentic artifacts transforms understanding and reveals truths too often left out of modern classrooms.
“Our agenda should always be the same: just honest truth,” Beck said. “When you have the document, it’s no longer opinion. It’s just the truth.”
As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, the AJE plans to significantly expand its reach and impact. The team is building toward this historic milestone through immersive museum experiences, nationwide traveling exhibits, and educational initiatives—in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education—designed to bring America’s story directly to the people. By taking rare artifacts on the road and reimagining how history is taught and experienced, the AJE aims to ensure that the principles behind the American experiment are understood and honored, in celebration of this once-in-a-lifetime anniversary.
Another powerful moment of the night came from Elijah O’Neal, the AJE’s Education Manager, who shared how understanding America’s founding principles changed his own life—and how that same clarity is now shaping a new generation. “It’s not that my peers hate America,” O’Neal said. “It’s that my peers don’t know America. Because to know America is to love her.”
Patriot Mobile is proud to support organizations like the AJE that are boldly preserving our nation’s history and passing it on, truthfully and unapologetically, to the next generation. As America nears its 250th anniversary, the work of the American Journey Experience has never been more urgent. Patriot Mobile is grateful to stand alongside AJE and Mercury One in ensuring that America’s story is not rewritten or forgotten—but known and loved by generations to come.
