ATTENTION EDUCATORS:
Operation THANK YOU!
Operation “THANK YOU” is one way educators can get their students involved in the observance of the D-Day anniversary. The purpose of Operation THANK YOU is to have students offer messages of thanks to our WWII and D-Day veterans in highly visual formats. Educators are invited to have their students spell out “THANK YOU” as creatively as possible and submit a photograph of their results. A panel of judges will select the most creative “THANK YOU” image, which will then be used in the program for the 65th Commemoration of D-Day at the National D-Day Memorial in June 2009. The key is creativity – use the student body to spell out “THANK YOU” in giant letters on the football field, or spell it out with a collage of images from WWII. Get creative and say thanks!
Submissions must be in the form of color photographs or digital submissions – no original artwork or videos will be accepted. Entries must be received by April 15th, 2009 to be considered. All submissions become property of the National D-Day Memorial. Send your submission to the National D-Day Memorial, PO Box 77, Bedford, VA 24523 or via email at dday@dday.org.
