| Medal of Honor Character Development Program |
| The Medal of Honor Character Development Program incorporates the ideals of courage and selfless service into middle and high school curriculum to build character and promote responsible citizenship. The program is currently implemented in 33 states, DODDS schools in Europe and the Pacific, and the Citadel Military College of South Carolina. |
| |
| A training model for teaching the curriculum in the classroom is in place for training teachers on best practices in using the program. The entire Medal of Honor curriculum, including more than 100 Medal of Honor living history videos, is now available at the educational online site.
