Sponsored by the San Diego Chapter of the Military Order of the World Wars, the students will visit the U.S. Capitol, Supreme Court, Library of Congress and numerous other sites to gain greater awareness of our national history, monuments and museums. The chapter sponsors cadets from not only the San Diego Unified School District, but other districts around San Diego County.
