Soaring Valor
We’re bringing World War II veterans and their guardians to New Orleans to tour The National WWII Museum built in their honor. Their experience includes entertainment, celebratory meals, and community building with their fellow heroes. Students who accompany our veterans carry on their stories with a new appreciation for the sacrifices made by an entire generation.
Greatest Generation
Our WWII veterans fought to save the world from tyranny. The freedom we know today is thanks to their bravery and valor. They taught us the true meaning of patriotism and we remain forever grateful for their sacrifices.
Living Libraries
Every veteran is a living library. We’ve partnered with The National WWII Museum to record the individual stories of America’s Greatest Generation and share them with the world. For those who cannot travel, we’re sponsoring a historian to conduct interviews with WWII veterans in the comfort of their homes.
Student Education
In 2017, the Gary Sinise Foundation expanded Soaring Valor by inviting students to join the experience. This educational opportunity presents World War II from a whole new perspective, directly from those who lived it.
