In an address to its graduating class of 2009, Victor Davis Hanson encourages the graduates to rely on the moral lessons learned in their families and in their classrooms for guidance and stability in an uncertain world. At a time when once invincible corporate giants are disappearing, when government disdains constitutional limits, and when political leaders often seem more comfortable apologizing for America than defending its interests abroad, Dr. Hanson exhorts the class to remember and honor the sacrifices of previous generations that made possible America’s unprecedented freedom and prosperity. Finally, he urges the graduates to take what they have learned into a world that needs the application of moral knowledge today as much as ever.
