Use one of the following ideas or devise one of your own. For example, if your community doesn't have a war memorial, design one, build a scale model, and present it to a local veterans' organization. Turn your biographical sketch into a historical plaque and suggest a spot where you'd place it. Make a class booklet of sketches to present to a local veterans' group. Write a speech about a local war veteran and deliver it at a Memorial Day or Veterans Day ceremony.
War can seriously affect a community, especially through the loss of lives.
Your memorial will help demonstrate your appreciation of the sacrifices made by local war veterans. You may download, print and make copies of this page for use in your classroom, provided that you include the copyright notice shown below on all such copies. All Rights Reserved.
