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. This year’s program explored our military’s recent contributions in conflict and post-conflict areas and examine how stability and democracy can lead to better peace and security in a region.
