"Phil Winkler... an inspiring speaker on American history and values...  powerful impact on the audience.  His presentations are enlivening... His deep and abiding love for our country is obvious and he renews my pride in being an American...

"Mr. Winkler tells a great story and makes it relevant to us today.  I have seen President Reagan quoted as saying something like 'Our freedoms are always just one generation away from extinction.'  I want Mr. Winkler's message to be heard far and wide, so that will not happen."

John E. Shell, Ph.D., Consulting Psychologist

"Phil Winkler is a true scholar... His insight into the character of our founding fathers and the political climate in which they operated provides a rich understanding of the formative years of our country.  His speeches and writings colorfully depict the drama... that shaped our country's most important documents."
