Every day, we strive to thank America's educators by providing them with helpful resources and encouraging our members to visit local classrooms. Let us help you educate America's future leaders and bring history to life!
Veterans play an essential role in educating our nation's youth about the founding principles upon which America was founded. As combat veterans, VFW members can provide students with a unique perspective about America's service members' sacrifices to maintain freedom for all of us.
A VFW member will prepare a brief introduction, the main presentation, and a Q&A session when visiting a classroom. Depending on the topic, a member may bring appropriate memorabilia, uniforms, photographs, and other relevant material.
American history is something we all share, and there's no one better to help tell that story than someone who's had a significant part in shaping it.
Email cmd@vfw152.org to arrange for a veteran to visit your classroom.
