Programs
We believe our educational programs are unique in that they examine the greatness of America and the common thread between extraordinary heroic acts by people from all walks of life. Increasing awareness of these selfless acts can inspire people to do the right thing whether it saves a life, or simply adds a bright spot to someone’s day. Living with Honor, Integrity, and Patriotism keeps us humble and happy. We will continue to connect with individuals and organizations at all socio-economic levels.HIP Educational Outreach
HIP’s purpose is to emphasize to students the importance of living their lives by a set of simple but profound values. The Center’s Portraits of Valor Medal of Honor collection draws attention to the extreme sacrifices made on behalf of American values. There are many others who live by these types of values. A fireman, coach, mom or dad… each and every one of us is presented with opportunities to do the right thing by family, community and country. The American way of life will continue to flourish as long as we never lose sight of these values.
