NMMV and Wyoming Department of Education: Unveiling a New Educational Partnership
Announcement Made at Special Veterans Day Event
On Veterans Day, the National Museum of Military Vehicles and the Wyoming Department of Education announced a significant partnership aimed at bringing service, sacrifice and military history alive for Wyoming students. This special event honored veterans and showcased a collaboration with the University of Wyoming’s Malcolm Wallop Civic Engagement Program to develop curricula focused on World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The museum’s founder, Dan Starks, joined Wyoming Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder to unveil this educational initiative.
The day began at 10:00 AM with a hybrid media event, featuring a series of video tributes, including a moving dedication to Vietnam veterans. Dan introduced the video segment, setting the tone for a day of remembrance and reflection.
Students from Dubois K-12 School arrived at the museum for the Veterans Day program, where they performed patriotic songs, recited poems, and paid tribute to the Armed Forces. After the ceremony, elementary students shared lunch and stories with veterans, while secondary students conducted interviews, engaging in meaningful conversations to connect past experiences with their present-day learning.
This partnership marks a milestone in the museum’s mission to honor American freedom, providing resources for Wyoming schools that will be available in 2025. Dan Starks, the Founder and Chairman of the National Museum of Military Vehicles, has dedicated his efforts to preserving history and supporting the community, creating a legacy that goes beyond the museum’s walls.
