Smart/Maher VFW National Citizenship Education Teacher Award
Each year, the Veterans of Foreign Wars selects elementary, middle and high school teachers to participate in the Smart/Maher National Citizenship Education Teacher program. Effective this year, VFW Post Teacher Award Chairman may submit a candidate to their Department Headquarters by January 1 in each category. The Department may select a single candidate for each of the three awards and submit those to VFW National Headquarters by February 1. VFW's Department Teacher winners that are received at National Headquarters will receive a VFW National citation for both the winning teacher and their school in each grade category.
"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and
judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and
whether hereditary, selfappointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced
the very definition of tyranny.”
Freedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of the human spirit.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends
