Unique
“They are a unique educational opportunity unlike anything I have ever seen since my first encounter in 2006. With each interview, my son’s poise, confidence, communication & technical skills soared. The program increased his sense of civic responsibility and gratitude. I continue to support Imprints of Honor with volunteer and financial support because I know firsthand this program works!” – Donna Ward, Scholarship Chair

Chuck Schluter
Remarkable
My praise is absolute. A gifted teacher, a classroom of students, several veterans, and a handful of inspired parents created something so special it is hard to imagine that they could foresee the importance or scale of their accomplishment. Candidly told, thousands of deeply personal veterans stories have been captured with care and sincerity, and preserved for all time. Remarkable. - Charles Schluter

Powerful
"I am proud to provide support because it is a powerful educational program which transforms our students by developing in them a deeper appreciation of our veterans and of their service and sacrifice. At the same time, the veterans are healed as they tell their service stories to a younger generation of students who will honor and remember them." - Susan Kee

Jerry Strickland
None Parallel
"There are many veteran organizations, but none parallel Imprints of Honor. They help students in becoming more aware of our country and the sacrifices made to protect our freedom. The veteran in turn is the key to making this happen and comes away more fully appreciated." - Jerry Strickland
