Two Davie High teachers are ready to teach students about this country’s military history. And they need your help.

Corbin Kopetzky and Zach Wood are taking their own love of history and creating a “military museum” in May, where students can learn about the U.S. military history since World War I, and interact with veterans.

They’re looking for veteran volunteers, and for military memorabilia they could borrow for the museum. Monetary donations will also help.

“I grew up in American Legions and VFWs, hearing their stories,” Kopetzky said. “This is our moment to give back.”

Volunteers or those willing to share memorabilia can contact the school at 336-751-5905 and leave a message; or via email at woodsz@davie.k12.nc.us, or kopetzkyc@davie.k12.nc.us.
