WEST BEND, Wis. - Nov. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Family, honor, faith and role models are the most powerful tools Americans have to reclaim their great country from the throes of economic chaos, according to the two distinguished presenters of "Return to Family: Getting Your Family Fired Up About Honor, Role Models and the Faith."

John Horvat II, vice president of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) and author of Return to Order: From a Frenzied Economy to an Organic Christian Society and Norman Fulkerson, public relations liaison for the American TFP and award-winning author of An American Knight: The Life of Colonel John W.

The program will begin with Mass celebrated by Most Reverend Donald J. Hying, with lunch catered by the Knights of Columbus to follow.

At 1 p.m., Horvat will present "Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother: The Key to Bringing America Back to Order," which focuses on what it means to honor parents, why the family needs to be fired up with the idea of honor and how a sense of honor can revitalize all society.

A scholar, researcher, educator, international speaker and contributor to The Wall Street Journal, FOX News, The Christian Post, The Washington Times, ABC News, C-SPAN and other publications and websites, Horvat addresses our nation's challenges from a Catholic viewpoint.
