Leaders and Heroes Of Valor
The Museum is dedicated to educating our children, both today and tomorrow, through classroom presentations titled ‘Leaders and Heroes of Valor.’ Each classroom lecture consists of a 45-minute presentation about persons and artifacts that were instrumental in leading our troops in the fight against tyranny and for freedom. The students will understand that freedom does not come without personal sacrifice. It is our mission to ensure that the memory of our veterans is never forgotten as we move forward into the future. Classroom presentations are conducted at the museum and in schools during student history courses. We work closely with teachers to provide sample test questions for each presentation. There is a $75.00 museum donation fee for each classroom lecture. The classroom presentation of artifacts includes uniforms, military equipment, various types of military headgear used over the decades of conflict, and other types of artifacts collected. No military weapons will be presented at school presentations and lectures.
