Teaching about Korea

1 month ago

We are thankful for the teachers and other educators who work with us to capture the memories and stories of our #Koreanwarvets and help us make sure that we have quality educational resources and experiences that allow the next generation to learn about the Korean War and Korea. We are honored to have Deborah Wing-Leonard serving as one of our fellows. Deborah teaches AP World History and AP European History at Clear Lake High School in Houston, Texas. She holds an undergraduate degree in English and History from Texas Christian University and an MA in Latin American History with a Women’s Studies certificate from the University of Houston Clear Lake. She has served on the AP World History Test Development Committee and the College Board Academic Advisory Council for History. Her interest in the history of the Korean War stems from travels in Asia in her younger years. When not teaching in Houston, Deborah prefers spending time with her family and two greyhounds at their ranch in Colorado. Also in her leisure, she enjoys running, hiking, triathlon, rescuing and rehabilitating snakes and small mammals, and studying native plants. When she grows up, Deborah dreams of studying to be a master naturalist and working in a state or national park.When asked what she most values about her work with the foundation, Deborah replied, “The venue for which Korean War veterans can share their experiences provides poignant reminders of lives well-lived, as well as those lost. Men with many memories of life during and after the war provide insights into the trauma and heartbreak of war. Some, such as Keith Nutter, share the joys of returning home and pride at having helped South Koreans in the war.”We thank Deborah for her work and valuable contributions to our efforts. ...
