A learning community empowering digital witnesses of Oklahoma oral history

Silver Spoon

Rosalynn Wade's video about her father, "Silver Spoon - A Legacy of Integrity and Compassion," is a moving story about one soldier's journey to reach closure after World War II. This video is a "must see" in our COV library and a great example for our Veteran's group.

Our group today created a VDI (Video Discussion Instigator) about this video, which includes questions you can use with students before and after watching it.

It brought a tear to my eye. We do not know that tragedies of war go far beyond death, until we hear stories such as this. Thank you; ▶ Reply to This
