We are looking for some extraordinary educators to join us on a select trip to Europe next summer. All travel, lodging, courses, and materials are paid for by the program. Also, there is no fee to apply!
If you are a middle or high school teacher, apply today!
ABMC Education Update
Together with the American Battle Monuments Commission and the Department of Veterans Affairs, we have created a resource for teaching about America's military history.
The site, ABMCeducation.org, was recently updated with a new look and dozens of free lesson plans created by extraordinary teachers!
The lesson plans cover a range of subjects from science to math to art and history.
Who They Were
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the armistice of World War I. To honor this occasion we are working with the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission to help students and teachers discover what their communities were like 100 years ago. Learn more and participate in the commemorations at nhd.org/whotheywere.
A tale of twins reunited
Vanessa Taylor participated in one of our educational programs in high school. Her research on twins from her hometown of Ainsworth, Nebraska, helped reunite the two 74 years after they died.
The twins were both involved in the D-Day landings at Normandy and both made the ultimate sacrifice. They were originally buried in separate cemeteries because only one could be identified. But, Vanessa's research helped uncover the missing link that enabled them to be reunited.
Vietnam Teachers' Toolkit
The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration created a teacher toolkit. This toolkit is free to use and features resources and activities for honoring Veterans and teaching about the Vietnam War.
