During the 2024/2025 academic year, NHD received a Veterans Legacy Program grant from the National Cemetery Administration to tell the stories of 100 Korean War-era Silent Heroes.
As part of this program, NHD completed five research guides and four lesson plans. While these resources were created for this program, they can be useful classroom tools as well.
