Summary

VDH: This July 4th, We Remember the Fallen A year and two months after the first shots of the American Revolution were fired at the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the 13 American colonies declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776. Whether ridding the continent of British influence following the revolution, or coming to their aid during both World Wars, over 1 million soldiers have perished fighting to “protect the ideas of the American Revolution and the United States itself.” “And on this July 4th, we need to give them a due. And remember what they did, who they were, and why they did it,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on this July 4 edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
