Welcome
The Medal of Honor Character Development Program is a teaching resource designed by teachers to provide students with opportunities to explore the important concepts of:
|
Courage Commitment Sacrifice |
Patriotism Integrity Citizenship |
While drawn from the personal accounts of our living Medal of Honor recipients, this collection of lesson plans does not glorify or glamorize war. On the contrary, these dramatic "living histories" and the accompanying instructional activities encourage students to consider courage from their own perspectives.
As the flagship education initiative of the
Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation, the Character
Development Program is the legacy of the Medal of Honor recipients, who view the program as the way
they can inspire the youth of America to be great citizens of their communities, their country, and the
world.
