"This Program establishes an incentive fund to reward young people in China and the United States in various forms, so that they can enhance their understanding through mutual communication and learning," said Jeffrey Greene, Chairman of the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation.

After the program, both sides will organize mutual visits between teachers and students and hold a variety of shared activities, all intended to promote greater harmony between the two nations through increased recognition of the historical significance of the Flying Tigers.

"When American students and Chinese students communicate face-to-face and hand in hand, a connection will be established." In the eyes of Nell Calloway, granddaughter of General Claire Lee Chennault, this is the significance of establishing this program.

Currently, the No 4 Middle School of Zhijiang Dong autonomous county in Hunan province has also joined the program.

Entering the Huxi Experimental Middle School, Flying Tigers elements can be seen everywhere. The students combined the Flying Tigers theme with traditional Chinese crafts such as tie-dyeing, folding fans, and kites, and presented them as gifts to the representatives of the Flying Tigers.

Touched by the enthusiasm of the Chinese students, 103-year-old veteran Harry Moyer and Melvin McMullen, 98, told the students their stories during the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
