Unearthing Silent Heroes of War

A Washington state teacher named Beth Doughty, one of just 61 nationwide selected for the prestigious National History Day project, is helping students uncover the untold stories of U.S. service members from WWI to Vietnam. This year, her class focused on Staff Sergeant Clifford Henry Mast — a Spokane native who served in both the Navy and Air Force during the Korean War, including secret reconnaissance missions. Through deep research and collaboration with a historian, they built a compelling tribute to his life and sacrifice, culminating in a public website. The project isn’t just about history — it’s about teaching critical research skills and honoring silent heroes whose stories deserve to be heard.
