I started the morning teaching my students about Veterans Day with primary sources from my experiences in the Army Reserve. I ended my school day watching my son participate in his school’s Veterans Day program. What a day! @KEDCGrants @LeadtheDialogue

“To care for him who shall have borne the battle” — Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address, 1865

This #VeteransDay, KEDC’s American Dialogue thanks all who have served.
Take a moment today to ask a veteran in your community what they’d like you or students to know about their service.

The dialogue has begun! 💬 The American Dialogue Grant kicked off with orientation today. Teacher Leaders from across Kentucky learned about grant opportunities, got to know one another, and participated in a primary source activity exploring what defines us as a nation. We’re excited for the conversations and learning ahead! @KEDCGrants
