In support of President Bush's initiative to unite schools with America's veterans for Veterans Day, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has started a Web site, "The Veteran's Experience."

The new VA Web site will provide information that helps teachers and veterans inform students about contributions veterans have made to the American way of life. The online educational materials are designed to help the president's new campaign, "America's Lessons in Liberty," which strives to bring a veteran to every school for Veterans Day.

The new site, hosted on VA's main site at http://www.va.gov/veteranedu/, will link to sites operated by veterans service organizations, civic education organizations and VA's own Veterans Day section.

The web site will include examples of sacrifices by well-known veterans, information on the country's freedoms and explanations of popular American symbols of patriotism.
