Briefly

Kayla Smith and Hannah Winton, determined to learn about World War II, found living veterans who shared their profound experiences, highlighting interactive history learning.
After a disappointing cancellation of a WWII history class, Kayla Smith was motivated to connect with veterans and learn directly about their experiences.
The struggle to find surviving veterans underscored the shrinking opportunity to learn firsthand from those who served during one of history's pivotal moments.
Smith and Winton's initiative demonstrates the power of grassroots efforts in preserving history when traditional educational routes fall short.
