Lead to a better understanding of history

Reinforce bonds between veterans and everyday citizens in communities

To help make the most of the day, teachers of grades 4 through 7 will discover downloadable guides below—one for educators and the other for students. (Teachers of grades K-3 and 8-12 can find valuable, age-appropriate resources at veterans.com.
