During the 2024/2025 academic year, NHD received a 退伍军人遗产计划 grant from the 国家公墓管理局 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.
