"The men and women were among the bravest and the most selfless warriors in history. Their legacy is one of courage in the face of despair, conviction in the time of indifference, and persistence in the face of overwhelming adversity. As future generations of America, we owe them our deepest gratitude."

About Us

This program builds connections between students and veterans. It helps students learn from veterans' responsibility, courage, perseverance, and collaboration, improves students' stress-resilience, preserves the living history of our veterans, encourages students to volunteer at VAs and veteran organizations, and supports homeless veterans.

The program includes four parts:
  1. Interview veterans, and share the interviews on our website to reach a broader group of students.
  2. Host events and invite veterans to speak at schools.
  3. Volunteer at VAs and Veteran Organizations.
  4. Host events with veteran organizations.​
