Medal of Honor Class with Krista English: Vignettes of MOH Heroes

As we watch them in class, I will post the vignettes here for those who couldn't make it, but please don't think staying home is preferred. Sitting in the media room on a giant screen with the audio filling the room and interacting with others afterward to gain deeper understanding and connection is much preferred.

Be sure to print off an information gathering worksheet to fill out on each hero!

Be sure to click on the "Full Screen" icon in lower right corner of videos.

Field Trip

Personal Bravery and Self Sacrifice
at the
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum
Friday, February 24th, 2012 from 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

"The price of freedom is high, but never more costly than the loss of freedom. And freedom, we must always remember, is never more than one generation away from extinction. Each generation must do whatever is necessary to preserve it and pass it on to the next, or it will be lost forever." --Ronald Regan

Few Americans have sacrificed as much to preserve our freedom as the recipients of the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest military honor. A panel of four MOH recipients will share their amazing stories of bravery and sacrifice and explore the concepts of Courage, Commitment, Sacrifice, Patriotism, Integrity and Citizenship. Following the panel discussion, students will have the opportunity to pose questions and share their thoughts with these heroes.

We have 32 kids and 2 adults attending this presentation with a short waiting list who have potential of becoming substitutes. It's going to be a great day. For those who want to join us from your living room, they will be live streaming this event for free. Be sure to pre-register!
