It certainly IS a shame. And it would be a great surprise to our WWII veterans to know that today's public school-educated American children are not being taught any concept of the valor of serving in the military forces.

Valor's good, but I think a better word to use would be Duty. A duty for someone who is a citizen to do what they can to help, serve and protect his/her nation, not necessarily for sake of self, but for family, friends, neighbors and the generations to come. Between the leftist educrats and the media I think the wisdom of that obligation has been denied to our youth, if not twisted into something that runs totally opposite.
