What a Veteran Knows

Leon Kass and Amy Kass have put together a new civics curriculum “The American Calendar” which “explores the purpose and meaning of our civic holidays, showing how their repeated celebration helps unite and identify us as a people and attaches us to our country.”

I was honored to have an essay I wrote for First Things, “What a Veteran Knows“, included in the anthology. (Please excuse the shameless self-promotion, but I suspect this is the only time my name will appear on a table of contents with Mark Twain, Douglas MacArthur, and Ronald Reagan.)
