  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.    Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby
finds that the defining moments of our nation's history came in wartime,
especially during the great conflicts  of  the  twentieth  century.  The
legislature  further  maintains  that as our nation now moves into a new
century and new millennium, it is imperative that all  of  society,  and
particularly  young  people,  be aware of the contributions of those who
participated in these conflicts as members of the armed forces.
  These men and women established a remarkable  record  of  service  and
sacrifice. They were ordinary men and women who did extraordinary things
to  preserve  and  protect  our nation and its cherished freedoms. Their
personal accounts, which constitute a valuable historical record, are in
danger of being lost forever as these individuals pass away. The  legis-
lature,  therefore,  has determined that it is necessary and appropriate
to take steps to help encourage greater knowledge  and  appreciation  of
veterans, particularly in our schools.
  In this regard, many states have already enacted school-based programs
honoring  those  who  served in the military.  The legislature now finds
and declares that New York should make available to  students,  teachers
and  administrators  in  public  and private schools a new resource that
will encourage greater understanding and appreciation  of  the  contrib-
ution of veterans.
