1:02:42Now PlayingUSIP’s new signature event series “First in War, First in Peace” pays tribute to George Washington, who set the precedent of American veterans advancing peacebuilding after leaving military service. The program also honors Congressional military veterans and veteran groups who were critical stakeholders in the establishment of USIP in 1984 and have continued to guide the Institute’s work throughout its nearly 40-year history.
In honor of Veterans Day, USIP held a discussion with two former senior U.S. military officers who continue to pursue peace after retiring from the armed forces. The conversation highlighted how military experience has shaped the way these veterans view their post-military initiatives and the security challenges facing the country today.
