B2K Principal David Burman Reflects on America’s 250th Anniversary and the Importance of Preserving History

As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, David Burman, Principal and President of Development at B2K Development, is encouraging Americans to reflect on the sacrifices made to preserve the freedoms enjoyed today. Calling this Independence Day “an opportunity to honor the men and women who have defended our nation and protected our freedoms for the past 250 years,” Burman recently toured The Museum of American Armor in Old Bethpage to highlight B2K Development’s continued support of the museum’s educational initiatives.

Supporting the Next Generation Through Education

At a time when classroom instruction devoted to American history continues to decline, B2K Development remains committed to helping local students gain a deeper understanding of the nation’s heritage through the museum’s educational programs. “B2K Development will continue to support student programs at The Museum of American Armor because an understanding of history is essential to appreciating the principles and sacrifices that have defined our nation since its founding 250 years ago,” said Burman.

A Commitment to Preserving America’s Military History

Burman also serves as a Trustee of The Museum of American Armor and recently participated in a remarkable ceremony at the museum attended by Shinto priests who traveled from Japan to commemorate the end of World War II and celebrate the enduring peace and friendship between the United States and Japan.

Bringing History to Life for Future Generations

“Our military remains America’s first line of defense and a symbol of the freedoms, opportunities, and hope that define our nation,” Burman added. “The Museum of American Armor brings that legacy to life through its operational military vehicles, exhibits, and educational programs, ensuring future generations understand the sacrifices made to preserve our way of life.”

Recognizing Community Leadership and Support

Colonel Jason Halloren (Ret.) former Deputy Commandant of West Point and a fellow Armor Museum trustee stated, “David’s role and that of B2K Development cannot be overstated in their efforts to present the story of America’s military through the years. It is a reflection of the company’s commitment to one of the largest veterans’ populations in the United States and the community at large.”
