Offer for Ralph Nader Radio Hour Listeners— Armistice Day and the Empire by Matthew Hoh

Please provide your mailing address and we will send you a free copy of Armistice Day and the Empire: An Inconvenient and Troublesome Holiday by Matthew Hoh, Disabled Marine Corps Combat Veteran and Senior Fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network. Note: This offer is valid until Saturday, July 4th 2026. 

Matt Hoh’s speech traces how Armistice Day, originally a remembrance of the horror of World War I and a “Never Again” commitment, was transformed in 1954 into Veterans Day during the early Cold War. That shift, he argues, allowed a peace-focused, anti-war holiday to be repurposed into a celebration that does not address the cost of the military industrial complex promoting wars of choice.
