Five years following the passing of influential conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh, his enduring message regarding the United States is being emphasized once more, coinciding with the upcoming 250th anniversary of the nation's founding. His popular children's book collection, "The Incredible Adventures of Rush Revere," is being reissued to introduce a new generation of young readers to America's origins.
Kathryn Limbaugh, his wife, reflected on her late husband's perspective: "I know that if he were here right now, he would be saying, it is never time to panic." She further elaborated on his profound patriotism, stating, "Rush loved this country with all of his heart. He loved our founding. And that's really what he wanted young people to know all about, why our country is so incredibly miraculous."
Reviving a Vision for American History Education
Rush Limbaugh, who was a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and passed away in February 2021, was widely recognized for his staunch advocacy of the U.S. Constitution. His "Rush Revere" series, which centers on a time-traveling history teacher, was initially conceived to address what he perceived as a gap in historical education.
"Rush saw a problem throughout the country where accurate patriotic American history was not being taught," Kathryn Limbaugh explained. "So he set out on a mission to write these books so that young people could really experience our history." She emphasized his dedication to making learning enjoyable: "It was important to him that he made accurate, patriotic American history fun and engaging, so that young people could be so proud of their country."
Supporting Military Families and Celebrating a Milestone
The relaunch of the book series is timed to commemorate the country's upcoming historic milestone year, the 250th anniversary. Beyond its educational mission, the initiative also carries a philanthropic component, with all proceeds dedicated to assisting the families of America’s military heroes.
Kathryn Limbaugh articulated the multifaceted purpose of the relaunch: "We're writing these books now, in particular, to honor Rush, in honor of the 250th birthday of the most miraculous country on Earth, and also in support of the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation." She reiterated the commitment to this cause, adding, "Proceeds from the relaunch of this book series will be benefiting the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, which we love dearly, as we love our United States military."
As CEO of Rush Limbaugh's legacy, Kathryn Limbaugh also made the announcement on social media, proclaiming: "In honor of Rush, and in celebration of the 250th birthday of our country…the very popular Adventures of Rush Revere Series, Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans is back! Proceeds will benefit the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, supporting the families of fallen heroes. Available at stores nationwide!"
