Mr. Albert H Small and National History Day have an incredible opportunity for Teachers and Students:
"Summer Institute 2014
National History Day announces an exciting and unique summer institute for teachers and students. In June 2014, fifteen student/teacher teams will engage in a rigorous study of D-Day and World War II. Students and teachers will be immersed in lectures presented by leading World War II historians, participate in a scholarly study of the war memorials in the D.C. area and walk in the footsteps of history on the beaches of Normandy. Students will study and make presentations on various aspects of the Normandy Campaign. The last day in Normandy will be a day of remembrance. The students will lay a wreath at the American Cemetery and present eulogies based on individual pre-institute research of a soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice."

Putting a Face to the Sacrifice of our World War II Veterans.
As part of the Normandy: Sacrifice for Freedom Institute, each student/teacher team researches a soldier from their home state who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Alton Poe paid that price. After enlisting into the Army, he spent two years preparing to parachute behind enemy lines with the 101st Airborne for the Normandy invasion in 1944
