## Resource

Both legal immigrants, when they arrive in this fully developed 250-year-old nation, as well as America’s youth, need to ask themselves why the United States is the oldest and most successful constitutional republic in the world today. The Answer? From time to time in its 250-year history, America’s youth have gone overseas and made the ultimate sacrifice, argues Victor Davis Hanson on this Memorial Day special for Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words. 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
