Show Notes

On November 7, USIP’s hosted its annual “First in War, First in Peace” conversation. Named in honor of George Washington, who was famously eulogized as “first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen,” this annual series was created to engage and learn from our miliary veterans.
