Medal of Honor
Character Development Program
Educating the Youth
One of our pillars is educating youth. The week leading up to Memorial Day 2021 we were honored to teach our local Police Explorers group on Sacrifice and Memory. This lesson plan is part of the Congressional Medal of Honor Societies Character Development Program. These kids also learned about APK Charities and The Gold Star Families Memorial Monument Connecticut.
Character Development Program
The Medal of Honor Character Development Program is a free resource that teaches courage, commitment, integrity, sacrifice, citizenship, and patriotism to students through educationally grounded lessons developed by teachers for teachers. These six values are embodied in the Medal of Honor and exemplified in the actions for which it has been awarded.
“If there is one thing that we can do to keep the county free, it’s to educate the next generation about the importance of service and sacrifice.”
