VFW in the Classroom
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 important 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 the sacrifices America's service members make to maintain freedom for all of us. When visiting a classroom, a VFW member will prepare a brief introduction, a main presentation and a Q&A session. American history is something we all share, and there's no one better to help tell that story than someone who's had a great part in shaping it. Contact Donald Wischmann at vfwpost2100@yahoo.com to arrange for a veteran to visit your classroom.
