A tour of Washington DC, designed for students of social studies or Junior ROTC

Washington, D.C. has a lot to offer for visits of students from the city and surrounding area. In fact, there are so many different options, that the student trip travel coordinators could only become to overwhelmed. Choose a qualified and experienced, no doubt, students travel company can help focus a trip and align it with the curriculum objectives.

Over the years I have developed many types of travel that attach to a variety of curricula such as art, history, Government, performance, science and more tours. I have designed a school trip for high school students and JROTC students study major conflicts of the 20th century U.S.. This educational tour helps the students to take a look at the Viet Nam and Korea wars as well as the second world war. Student travel groups visiting sites in Washington, D.C., that are directly related to these conflicts. I have organized these tours around the themes of sacrifice and conflict.

Depending on the allocation of time, groups of students can also plan to visit the main destinations for any trip in Washington, D.C. The selection of sites might also include a visit to the White House, Capitol, Smithsonian Museum and popular choices for restaurants, entertainment and shopping.

These are my suggestions for destinations in social studies and or JROTC students who study modern warfare:

Viet Nam Veterans Memorial
The conflict of Viet Nam was one of the most politicized events of the 20th century. Students it will want to visit the Memorial for Veterans of Viet Nam in Washington, D.C. The names of soldiers who died in this conflict are embedded in the wall so that everyone can remember. Any day, groups of students can see families and loved ones of fallen soldiers in honor to his loss with flowers, vigils and personal memories. Groups visiting the wall can opt for the interpretative tour guided ranger where recounted stories about individual soldiers and units, as well as a brief history of Viet Nam Veterans Memorial.

Korea War Veterans Memorial
The Korea War Veterans Memorial was opened to the public in 1995 and dedicated by President Bill Clinton and President Kim Young-Sam. Near the wall of pictures and names, there are 19 stainless steel statues of soldiers, representing the four branches of the military forces and from diverse backgrounds. The statues of infantry and medical staff seem to be walking in the same vicinity as the wall and still emerge from the nearby forests. The mural shows 2,400 photographs of the war of Korea, obtained from the national archives. Visiting the Memorial for Veterans of the war of Korea, students earn more from the perspective of the depth of this war and its impact on the life of Korea and States United.

Holocaust Museum
The Museum of the Holocaust is essential to see for World War II study. Details of the systematic, bureaucratic massacre of Jews, Russians, Poles, Communists, homosexuals, disabled people and others who were directed by the Nazi regime during the 1930s and 1940s in Europe. Students will learn about the Holocaust by viewing historical movies, objects, photos, and listen to stories recorded by the survivors and witnesses. Much of the material in this Museum is difficult to contemplate. The events of the Holocaust have been well documented in history, biographies, fiction and non-fiction books. Several texts can be studied with a visit to the Museum. There is still no substitute for the point of view of about visual provided by the Holocaust Museum, which gives a student a broader perspective and context in which to consider this atrocity.

Arlington National Cemetery
Arlington National Cemetery is on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. in the city of Arlington in Northern Virginia and is worth the visit. These cemeteries are where they are buried many prominent American explorers, judges, and historical figures, right next to the common soldier who fought for his country and died for freedom. It is the tomb of the unknown in Arlington soldier and students can be seen being closely monitored by a professional soldier. In advance, coordinators of student travel groups can apply to your visit to Arlington National Cemetery to coincide with a Crown formal installation ceremony, colorful and solemn tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Smithsonian Museum
The Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. has many facets. Groups of students seeking to gain a full understanding of U.S. conflicts in the 20th century would like to schedule some time at the National Museum of American history. Trips by visiting this museum you will find additional information, photographs, relics, movies and stories about U.S. conflicts mentioned above. The National Museum of American history expands knowledge gathered at all the sites visited. This museum also offers some exceptional curriculum materials that can be used in the classroom when preparing students to study these wars and make a visit to our Nations Capitol.

Washington, D.C. is a destination that is rich in American history from all eras. Yet this particular tour focuses on war and conflict in the 20th century and is perfect for students who are actively studying this topic. Ideally, students return visit to Washington with a greater respect for the personal risk, commitment, sacrifice and national values that soldiers show when enter to join any of the armed forces.
