In the spring of 2009,
College of the Ozarks
partnered with The
Greatest
Generations Foundation to create a
powerful learning and travel experience which fulfills the
College's goal of patriotic education and the Foundation's
mission to educate the younger generation about the sacrifices
of Veterans.
Providing opportunities for college-age students to travel with
WWII Veterans back to the battlefields where the soldiers fought
is a priceless experience both for the students and the
Veterans. These trips provide a powerful bridge between the two
generations. For the students, they grow to understand and
appreciate the sacrifices that were made for freedom; for the
Veterans, they not only have closure from the war, but they also
know that their stories will not be forgotten by the students.
