AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Defense to create an education program about the Greatest Generation and World War II, named after Senator Robert J. Dole. The Secretary could give grants to state and local governments and nonprofit organizations for public education activities, such as honoring World War II veterans, teaching about the home front, remembering the Holocaust, and holding events at sites like the National World War II Memorial. A state government receiving a grant could use it only for a new initiative and not for programming that is part of a state secondary education program. The Secretary of Defense would have the sole right to use the program's name and any related seal, emblem, or badge.
