Memorial Day: Remember all or Just Military?

Memorial Day is one of the festival that loses the meaning of shuffling. First is the anniversary mess. Then the problem is its use

My favorite way is to prepare for future events and challenges for a 4 year old child through library books. Since we will soon join the anniversary and memorial ceremony, I would like to give him at least a reference point on this subject.

But when we get a book for children, the anniversary is the day when people remember the dead people - regardless of whether they serve or not, I am surprised. They said they were for the military alone in the past. But now, there are only those who want to make a sense of commemoration for others regardless of who they are, whatever they did.

Now I am accustomed to anger when commercialism confused the anniversary with the following.

I do not fully believe it. truly? Anniversary is for everyone. Of course, this book is merely abnormal, I do not mind if I can spread the wrong message to children all over the world.

"At the beginning of the 20th century, the anniversary was a more general memory expression, as people visited the graves of their deceased relatives in the church cemetery, regardless of whether people serve in the army. "

Now I will not be jealous of the people who have lost my family - regardless of who they are and what they are doing in life - I remember them. Of course, this is important, appropriate and necessary.

But I jealous of their time and action on this day - the last Monday in May. Anniversary, you will remember (Read the rest of the Wikipedia article if you do not remember) "Decorated Day" established after the American Civil War - to decorate the grave of autumn A day

Since then, we have received such a sufficient supply, but the same is true for the deceased heroes of other conflicts that have been traditionally done.

But, obviously, that is not enough. Even if one day we can not even remember the collapse of war, what does it tell our society? If you can not even stop remembering people who paid the last sacrifice 24 hours, how can you expect what kind of service Americans will respect?

No, Americans, anniversaries are not to mark the lives of all loved ones. This is to celebrate the service and the sacrifice of the fallen people. remember

Many people confuse anniversaries and veterans' days. Anniversary is a day to celebrate and celebrate a soldier who died during work for the country, in particular a soldier who died during battle or died as a result of injury during battle. People who die will be remembered, but veterans' days are to appreciate and respect all people who enjoy glory in the military - between wartime or peaceful times. Indeed, Veteran's Day mainly thanks LIVING veterans for their service, acknowledging their contribution to our national security, and not only those who serve, but also those who serve them Is to emphasize that they sacrificed their work and completed them. Obligation

Do not confuse Veteran's Day with the May National Holidays anniversary; Veteran's Day celebrates the service of all US veterans, but anniversaries commemorate those who died during service . This is an anniversary of the United States in May, and especially important for people currently serving in the US military. Today a year ago, our enemies overwhelm their weapons according to the cease-fire agreement, make it impossible to revitalize hostilities, rebuild their broken order and establish a new set of peace We guaranteed opportunities. International relations. The European Allied soldiers and people fought and endured for over four years to defend civilization obstacles and to resist military attacks. We are struggling for over a year and a half.
