Additionally, WAA has developed a Veterans’ Oral History Project for youth from 4th to 12th grades that encourages young people to interview a veteran, service member, or Gold Star Family member to learn about the sacrifices our military make on behalf of our country and teach the next generation the value of their freedom. This service-based curriculum is designed to share educational materials from philanthropic and patriotic organizations like The Unites States of America Vietnam War Commemoration, the American Rosie MovementTM, Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, The Congressional Media of Honor Society, and IKEducation at the Eisenhower Foundation. The program curriculum encompasses all grades starting at kindergarten through the senior year of high school. This program is free to download from and is also available to all educators and homeschoolers on Teachers Pay Teachers. The program, which consists of stories of courage and character, regularly introduces new educational materials – most recently you can find lesson plans specifically related to Veterans’ Day – further focusing on character development and service projects for young people of all ages.

Last month alone, this program received over 2,000 individual downloads. In the past few months, with consistent updates based on American holidays and other important events, this program has become wildly popular with professional educators and homeschoolers. The program, which was put together by retired educator and Gold Star Mother Cindy Tatum, shares an established curriculum designed to teach the next generation about the value of their freedom.

COLUMBIA FALLS, Maine - This year’s theme for Wreaths Across America (WAA) is “Find a Way to Serve.” In keeping with this, the organization launched a new TEACH program earlier this year.
