Victor Davis Hanson: The Forgotten Story Behind Veterans Day

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the Allied powers defeated Germany, ending World War I. The annual celebration of this pivotal date we know to be Veterans Day.

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the history of the holiday—from the challenges the U.S. faced entering World War I and the extraordinary contributions of American troops to the transformation of its beginnings as Armistice Day to a day in which we honor all who have served in the U.S. military—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
