MEDAL OF HONOR LEGACY: WAR ON TERROR FREEDOMS FOUNDATION July 8 – 13, 2018 Subject to Change – updated 5/22/18 Course Description Over five days, participants will study the events surrounding the War on Terror and the rise of radical Islam. Each day will be comprised of four hours of lecture and discussion led by top historians and academic scholars. Program participants will also interact with Medal of Honor Recipients who will share oral histories of their experience in these conflicts and whose actions represent the character development virtues disappearing from instruction in our schools. Teachers will visit the 9/11 Museum and Memorial to better understand American values and principles that motivated and inspired those who fought and fight for our country. A master teacher will provide instruction on the use of the Medal of Honor Character Development Program curriculum and digital tools developed by the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation. Teachers will be required to develop supplementary curriculum guided by American history common core standards. To augment curriculum design, in-person narratives by Medal of Honor Recipients and tours of the Freedoms Foundation Medal of Honor Grove and Archives will serve as primary source materials to be used in the development of participant-designed curriculum. The Medal of Honor archives compiled by and housed on the Freedoms Foundation campus represents the most comprehensive collection that we know. Course Themes More than a chronological examination of dates and events, and in order to provide an in-depth understanding of the historical legacy of the Medal of Honor Recipients, this course will include several over-arching themes, providing a more comprehensive examination of American history: Constitutional democracy as inspiration for the military Value-based character development in contemporary American students across the educational spectrum The importance of the historiography of individuals like Medal of Honor Recipients and other veterans in examining major events in U.S. -

American Sniper"
"AMERICAN SNIPER" by Chris Kyle with Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice Screenplay By Jason Hall Second Draft 07.17.13 All gave some. Some gave all. OVER BLACK The groan of tank treads drowns out THE CALL TO PRAYER as an entire MARINE COMPANY advances over the top of us. EXT. STREET, FALLUJAH, IRAQ - DAY The sun melts over squat residences on a narrow street. The MARINE COMPANY creeps toward us like a cautious Goliath. FOOT SOLDIERS walk alongside Humvees and tanks. COMMANDING OFFICER (OS) (radio chatter) Charlie Bravo-3, we got eyes on you from the east. Clear to proceed, over. EXT. ROOFTOP, “OVERWATCH” - SAME Sun glints off a slab of corrugated steel. Beneath it-- CHRIS KYLE lays prone, dick in the dirt, eye to the glass of a .300 Win-Mag sniper rifle. He’s Texas stock with a boyish grin, blondish goatee and vital blue eyes.

GOAT (24, Arkansas Marine) lies beside him, woodsy and outspoken, watching dirt-devils swirl in the street. GOAT Dirt over here tastes like dog shit. CHRIS KYLE I guess you’d know. Goat balks and fixes his M4 on the door. CHRIS SCOPE POV TRACK ACROSS bombed-out buildings, twisted metal and golden-domed mosques. Ragged curtains flutter out a window. Cat-tails on the river sway the same direction. We are seeing what he’s thinking as-- SFX: A LOW FREQUENCY BUZZ escalates over picture as his concentration deepens. -
