kuchokera Maloto Amodzi
Kutsatira Nkhondo Yadziko Lonse, mpaka pomwepo nkhondo yankhalwe kwambiri komanso yowononga kwambiri m'mbiri ya anthu, mayiko ambiri omwe anali osakondera adatsimikiza, kwakanthawi, kuti kuwonongeka kotereku ndi kuwonongeka kwa moyo sikuyenera kuchitikanso. Ku United States, pa Juni 4, 1926, Congress idapereka chigamulo chofananira chokhazikitsa Novembala 11th, tsiku mu 1918 pomwe kumenyanako kudayimitsidwa, ngati Armistice Day, tchuthi chovomerezeka, cholinga chake ndi cholinga chake ndikuti "chikumbukire ndikuthokoza ndi kupemphera ndi machitidwe omwe apititsa patsogolo mtendere mwamtendere komanso kumvana pakati pa mayiko."
Mogwirizana ndi chisankho ichi, Purezidenti Calvin Coolidge anapereka Kutsatsa pa November 3rd 1926, "ndikupempha anthu aku United States kuti azikumbukira tsikuli m'masukulu ndi m'matchalitchi kapena m'malo ena, ndi miyambo yoyenera yosonyeza kuyamika kwathu mtendere ndi chikhumbo chathu chopitiliza ubale wabwino ndi anthu ena onse."
Kukhumudwa, ngakhale kuti imatchedwa "nkhondo yothetsa nkhondo zonse," komanso cholinga cha Tsiku la Armistice kuti November 11th tsiku lokondwerera mtendere, kutsimikiza mtima kwa mayiko kuwonetsetsa kuti "chifuniro chabwino ndi kumvana pakati pa mayiko" zichitike, zonse zidasokonekera mwachangu. Kutsatira nkhondo "yowonongera, yopanda ndalama, komanso yofika patali", Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yapadziko Lonse, komanso "apolisi" ku Korea, Purezidenti Dwight D. Eisenhower adatulutsa chilengezo choti anasintha mayinawo ya November 11th kuyambira Tsiku Lankhondo mpaka Tsiku Lankhondo.
"Ine, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Purezidenti wa United States of America, tikuitana anthu onse kuti azisunga Lachinayi, November 11, 1954, ngati Tsiku la Veterans. Pa tsiku limenelo tiyeni tikumbukire mwakachetechete zopereka za onse omwe adamenya nkhondo molimba mtima, panyanja, m'mphepete mwa nyanja, ndi m'mayiko ena, kuti tisunge cholowa chathu cha ufulu, ndipo tidzipereke tokha ku ntchito yolimbikitsa mtendere wamuyaya kotero kuti kuyesetsa kwawo sikungakhale kopanda phindu. "
Ngakhale ena akupitilizabe kukayikira lingaliro la Eisenhower posintha dzina, atawunika, chidwi chake ndi kulingalira kwake zimawonekera. Ngakhale anali kukhala wankhanza, monga Chief Commander of the Allies Expeditionary Force pa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yapadziko Lonse, adadziwa ndikuzonda kuwonongedwa komanso kuwonongedwa kwa moyo wankhondowo. Ndikulengeza kuti, a Eisenhower, ndikuwonetsa kukhumudwitsidwa ndi kukhumudwitsidwa kwake chifukwa cholephera kwamayiko kutsatira cholinga chawo cha Tsiku Lankhondo kuti apewe nkhondo ndikufuna njira zina zothetsera kusamvana. Posintha dzina, Eisenhower akuyembekeza kukumbutsa Amereka za mantha komanso zopanda pake pankhondo, kudzipereka kwa omwe adalimbana kuti athandizire, komanso kufunika kolimbikitsanso kudzipereka kwamtendere kosatha. Ngakhale dzinali lidasinthidwa, lonjezo lolimbikitsa ubale wabwino pakati pa mayiko onse ndi anthu onse padziko lapansi silinasinthe.
Kulondola kwa kusanthula kwanga kukutsimikiziridwa ndi Eisenhower Adiresi ya Nation ku Nation. M'kalankhulidwe aka, adachenjeza za chiwopsezo chomwe a Msilikali wa Zida zamagulu komanso momwe zimakhalira pankhondo komanso nkhondo zopitilira phindu. Kuphatikiza apo, adatsimikiziranso pempho loti akhale mwamtendere monga adanenera mu Chidziwitso chake cha Tsiku Lankhondo. "Tiyenera kuphunzira momwe tingapangire zosiyana osati ndi zida," anatilangiza, "koma ndi nzeru komanso cholinga chabwino." Ndipo mwachangu kwambiri, anachenjeza kuti "Ndi nzika yokhayo yomwe ili tcheru komanso yodziwa zambiri yomwe ingakakamize kugwirira ntchito bwino zida zankhondo zankhondo ndi njira zathu zamtendere."
Tsoka ilo, monga momwe zinalili ndi Tsiku la Armistice, Kulengeza kwa Tsiku la Veterans ndi Eisenhower sikunamveke. Chiyambireni ntchito, United States ikupitilizabe pafupifupi magulu 800 ankhondo m'maiko oposa 70 kumayiko ena; amagwiritsa ntchito $ 716 biliyoni pa Chitetezo, mayiko opitilira XNUMX otsatira kuphatikiza Russia, China, United Kingdom ndi Saudi Arabia; tsopano ndi wogulitsa mkono wamkulu padziko lonse lapansi, $ Biliyoni 9.9; ndipo wakhala ochita nawo nkhondo ku Vietnam, Panama, Nicaragua, Haiti, Lebanon, Granada, Kosovo, Bosnia ndi Herzegovina, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, ndi Syria.
Chomvetsa chisoni, sikuti kokha machenjezo a Eisenhower akunyalanyazidwa, koma kusintha kusankhidwa kwa Tsiku la Zomwe Zimapanga Zachilengedwe kwa Tsiku la Veterans, wapatsa asilikali ndi alangizi a nkhondo njira ndi mwayi, osati "kudzibwezera tokha ku ntchito yolimbikitsa mtendere wosatha" Poyambirira ndi cholinga chake, koma kukondwerera ndi kulimbikitsa nkhondo ndi nkhondo, kupanga ndi kupititsa patsogolo nthano zake zauleme ndi ulemu, owonetsa nkhanza zida zankhondo ndi ankhondo ngati ankhondo, ndikulimbikitsa kulimbikitsidwa kwa chakudya cha nkhokwe za nkhondo zamtsogolo. Chifukwa chake, ndikulimbikitsa kubwezeretsa November 11th ku chiyero chake choyambirira ndi kutsimikizira cholinga chake chapachiyambi. Tiyenera "Kubwezeretsa Tsiku la Armistice."
Sindikunena izi mopepuka, popeza ndine wachikulire wa nkhondo ya Vietnam ndi wachikondi. Chiwonetsero cha kukonda dziko langa, chikondi changa cha dziko, sichisonyeza osati ntchito yanga ya usilikali, komabe ndikuvomereza udindo wanga kuti ndikhale ndi moyo wanga, ndikuonetsetsa kuti omwe apatsidwa utsogoleri wa dziko langa amakhala nawo ndikuwatsogolera, mogwirizana ndi ulamuliro wa malamulo ndi makhalidwe.
Monga msirikali wakale, sindidzasokeretsedwanso kapena kuzunzidwa ndi asitikali komanso opindulitsa pankhondo. Monga wokonda dziko lako, ndimaika kukonda dziko langa patsogolo povomereza zabodza zakulemekeza ndikuyamikira ntchito yanga. Pamene tikukondwerera 100th tsiku lokumbukira kutha kwa nkhondo mu "nkhondo yothetsa nkhondo zonse," ndiyesetsa kuwonetsetsa kuti America yomwe ndimakonda ndiyapadera, monga zimanenedweratu, koma osati chifukwa cha mphamvu zake zankhondo kapena kufunitsitsa kuigwiritsa ntchito kuwopseza, kupha, kugwiritsa ntchito masuku pamutu, kapena kulanda mayiko ena ndi anthu ena pazifukwa zandale, zanzeru, kapena zachuma. M'malo mwake, ngati msirikali wakale komanso wokonda dziko lako, ndikumvetsetsa kuti ukulu waku America umadalira nzeru zake, kulolerana, chifundo, kuchitira ena zabwino komanso kuthetsa kuthetsa mikangano ndi kusagwirizana mwanzeru, mwachilungamo, komanso mosachita zachiwawa. Mfundo zaku America zomwe ndimanyadira nazo, ndikuganiza molakwika kuti ndimateteza ku Vietnam, sizongonamizira chabe kukhala ndi mphamvu komanso phindu, koma malangizo amachitidwe omwe amakhudza moyo wa dziko lino, dziko lapansi, ndi ZONSE zake okhala.
Ife omwe tikudziwa nkhondo tikukakamizika kugwira ntchito pa mtendere. Palibe njira yabwino, yowonjezera yakuvomereza ndi kulemekeza nsembe za ankhondo komanso kufotokoza chikondi cha Amereka kusiyana ndi "kupititsa patsogolo mtendere ndi chiyanjano pakati pa mayiko." Tiyeni tiyambire ndi Reclaiming Armistice Day.
