How We Serve

Educating the Next Generation

We’re bringing students to places where history becomes real, from the National WWII Museum to the 9/11 Memorial. Through firsthand accounts from veterans, first responders, and those who lived it, they gain a deeper understanding of the true cost of freedom.

History At Risk

Only 15 States Require Education About 9/11

Many schools lack the resources, curriculum, or firsthand perspectives to teach 9/11 in a meaningful way. This creates a critical gap in understanding a pivotal moment that continues to shape our national identity and the lives of our military, first responders, and their families.

The Responsibility

History They Didn’t Live, But Must Never Forget

As time passes, fewer young people have a personal connection to the events of 9/11, making it harder for them to fully grasp its significance. Without intentional education, the stories of sacrifice, heroism, and unity risk fading from collective memory.

On Its Worst Day, America Was At Its Best

Educating our youth about 9/11 ensures that the bravery, sacrifice, and unity shown on one of our nation’s darkest days are never forgotten. It helps a generation born after the attacks understand the profound impact that day had on our country and the heroes who responded.
