On board the USS Midway every crewmember made a difference. Each person aboard played a key role in making sure the ship could carry out its mission. In this program students will virtually explore the Midway to see where our “everyday heroes” used the characteristics and qualities of courage, sacrifice, dedication and helping others to complete the mission assigned to them. Students will also see how they, and others, can exhibit those same characteristics. Students will have the opportunity to design a medallion to help them remember the characteristics discussed upon completion of this virtual program.
