To direct the Secretary of Defense to establish the Senator Robert J. Dole Greatest Generation Education Program.
This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to create the Senator Robert J. Dole Greatest Generation Education Program, which aims to increase public awareness of World War II history and its lessons. The program will operate by providing grants to state and local governments and nonprofit organizations to fund educational events that honor veterans, highlight the home front's contributions, and teach patriotism to young people. Recipients must use the funds for new initiatives rather than existing secondary school curricula, and the Department of Defense retains exclusive rights to the program's name and symbols.
