THE TRIBUTE TO VALOR FOUNDATION CHALLENGES EVERY STUDENT TO ANSWER THE QUESTION WHO AM I? BY USING 6 CORE VALUES OF THE MEDAL OF HONOR AS A ROAD MAP. WHO AM I? DECALS ARE GIVEN TO EACH STUDENT WITH A CALL TO ACTION FOR THEM TO PLACE THE DECAL WHERE THEY WILL BE REMINDED DAILY OF THE SIX CORE VALUES.

WHO AM I?

The Tribute to Valor Foundation was founded in 2018 as an all-volunteer organization focused on influencing, impacting and inspiring the students involved in STEAM curriculum. Their goal is to help these students understand and engage the values of the Medal of Honor—Courage, Sacrifice, Patriotism, Citizenship, Integrity and Commitment. They also provide students with the opportunities to meet and learn from wounded, ill, or injured service members, and understand the importance of STEAM and how new technologies have been critical to improving their quality of life and that of their families. Engaging young people with these veterans gives the students a unique perspective of the positive impact STEAM can make in the lives of others. They accomplish their goals by working with school districts and bringing Medal of Honor Recipients—those who have earned our nation’s highest award for valor in combat—to engage with the students through assemblies, workshops, presentations and unique immersive experiences. As of April 2023, there were only 65 living Recipients of the Medal of Honor—true national treasures that are committed to “paying it forward” by instilling in young people the responsibilities of being Americans, and to demonstrate those special values of character.
