About young patriot project
The mission of the Young Patriot Project is to engage in meaningful discussions between veterans and today’s youth to explore what both faith and patriotism mean to middle school students.
The mission is accomplished through connecting a high-achieving high school student and local veteran to discuss the importance of faith and patriotism as Americans.
Our goal is to introduce various viewpoints to students: those of a proud veteran who has served our country, an accomplished high school student, middle school students, their peers, and their teachers.
YPP FOUNDER
The Young Patriot Project was founded by Jake Montgomery in late 2023. Jake began his vision of engaging in fundamental discussions with middle school students in his Sophomore year at Saint Henry District High School in Erlanger, Kentucky. His father, Joe Montgomery, founder of Patriots Landing, accompanied Jake and Mr. Eddie Gabbert, a US ARMY Veteran of the Vietnam War. In collaboration, the three started conversations about a short, yet imperative curriculum for the program.
