"The United States World War One Centennial Commission and the National WWI Museum and Memorial are dedicated to educating the public about the causes, events, and consequences of the conflict and we encourage the use of these resources to better understand the Great War and its enduring impact on the global community."

We often think of the impact of World War I in terms of destruction - the millions of soldier and civilian casualties, the devastation wrought by mortars and bullets, the cities reduced to rubble, the upheaval of governments and countries - but the war left an equal impact on creativity through the arts.
Art and music served as outlets to mankind's expression of war and suffering, generating and popularizing modern movements: The rise of Dadaism, Jazz and the avant-garde, the decline of Realism and sentimentality.
In this issue of Understanding the Great War, we look at WWI through the lens of the arts as it was revolutionized by the conflict, a conflict that continues to inspire and horrify, leaving its mark even today.

Teachers' Toolkit for Vietnam War Commemoration
The new Teachers' Toolkit, developed by the History and Legacy Branch of The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration, offers educators a comprehensive packet of information to support the national effort to thank and honor our Vietnam veterans and their families. The Toolkit highlights service-learning projects, suggested websites, and resources for activities and events from notable sources.
The History and Legacy's Branch' goal in developing this Toolkit is to provide historically accurate materials and interactive experiences that will help teachers and students better understand and appreciate the service of our Vietnam veterans and the history of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. While we do not endorse any particular resource, we encourage everyone to take advantage of the suggested materials and ideas for use in elementary to college classrooms and afterschool programs so that schools, school districts, and educational organizations can develop programs to thank and honor Vietnam veterans locally and nationally. For more information, please check out the Commemoration's website at: www.vietnamwar50th.com
The Teachers' Toolkit is available for download through this link! We hope that you will share this useful and highly effective tool in your classroom so that the importance of honoring our veterans will be etched in the minds of this generation of students and those to come!
Posters and teacher's toolkits may be requested by educational institutions to include libraries, museums, and schools by e-mailing [email protected]. We ship them via FED EX.
Remember to check back as we are adding new posters every few months!
