From World War II to the present day our family members and friends have served not only the United States but millions of others who have needed their help throughout the world. In doing so, they left their homes and families to travel to new and unknown places not only in America, but also in Asia, Africa, Europe and South America.

As a class project, have each student ask a relative or family friend that has been in the service to tell them all of the places that they spent time while serving in the military – make sure not to forget those basic training locations in the United States. Plot all of the locations on a class map and you will see how local men and women truly served the world.
