Bhotela yeBelltower yakatsaurirwa paChirangaridzo Zuva 2014 neEisenhower Chapter yeVeterans for Rugare neimbova NC State University alumni mukuru uye Air Force veteran Bob Kennel mutungamiri. Kufuridzirwa kwaro kwaiva musuo wendarira paCSSU Belltower, iyo ine chikwangwani "Uye Vacharova Mapakatwa avo kuva Mapuranga." Iyi ndima yeTesitamende yekare, tsvene kuvaJudha, vaKristu, VaMuslim nevamwe, inyeuchidzo yemweya wepakutanga weHondo Zuva.
Muna 1953, Mutungamiri Eisenhower vakati, "Pfuti yega yega inogadzirwa, ngarava dzehondo dzese dzakaburitswa, roketi rega riridzwa zvinoratidza… kuba kune avo vane nzara uye vasingapiwi chikafu, avo vari kutonhora uye vasina kupfeka." Asi gore rimwe chete gare gare, akasaina chirevo chekutumidza zita reArmistice Zuva seVeterans Day. Kubva WWI, nechinangwa chezuva rekutanga chakakanganikwa, takaona kukwira kwefascism muEurope, zvinotyisa zveWWII, Hondo yeKorea, Hondo yeVietnam uye yedu isingagumi "hondo dzehugandanga." Hondo yehurombo haina kumira mukana.
Imwe nzira yekugadzirisa zvigadziro zvekuita runyararo ndeyekusimudzira mitero pakugadzira zvombo. Vaviri veNorth Carolinians, US House Majority Leader Claude Kitchin uye Navy Secretary Josephus Daniels, vakatungamira kuedza panguva yeWWI kuti vatsigire hurongwa hwekutora mutero weMutungamiri Wilson pamwe chete waisanganisira mitero pamatambudziko akawanda ehondo. Pasinei nekupikisa kweKitchin, mutero wekurwisana nehondo wakazobviswa.
Zvinosuruvarisa, Kitchin, mushori mukuru wekupinda kweropa muEurope, naDaniels, avo vakaburitsa pamberi peNews & Observer, vakabatsirawo mukuparadzwa kwechisimba kwemubatanidzwa wemarudzi akawanda muNorth Carolina muna 1898. Mamiriro ekunze erudzi udzvanyiriri ipapo mmay vadyisa humhirizhonga hwenyika hunotikwevera kuhondo.
Chinoita kuti chirangaridzo cheBelltower chisina kujairika, kunze kwekufamba kwayo, ndiko kuzvitsaurira kwayo, "kune vese vekare uye varwi vehondo, pasinei nedzinza, rutendo, kana nyika." Zviyeuchidzo zvinowanzoitika hazviiti sekubatanidzwa uye zvekutonga. Panzvimbo pokukoka mukutaurirana kwakatendeseka pamusoro pemari yehondo uye zvinokonzera, tinoudzwa kuti tinyatsoyeuka avo "vakapa hupenyu hwavo nokuda kwekusununguka kwedu." Asi hupenyu huzhinji, zvose zvehondo nehurumende, dzakabatwa zvisina kufanira. Vanasekuru vangu, British and Austrian, vakarwa kumativi akasiyana muWWI. Vose vaitenda kuti vakanga vari kurwira rusununguko here?
Kune rumwe rutivi rwamavirazuva rweCapitol, nechepamusoro pakona kubva kwatakamisa bhandi redu reBelltower, inomirira chiyeuchidzo chinokakavhiringidza "To Our Confederate Dead." Ndinobvuma kuti vanofanira kuyeukwa. Asi, kufanana nepamusoro pezviyeuchidzo zvehondo, yakavakwa nevakashoma vane simba neyekuyeuka kwakasarurwa kweavo vakapa, kana kuti vakabayiwa, muhondo iyoyo. Zvakadini nezviuru zveNorth Carolinians, vachena nevatema, vakarwa neUnited? Vagari vemazuva ano vakaurawa kana kufa nekuda kwekuregererwa kwehondo nguva? Vanaamai navanababa nevana? Kana avo havana kumbokwanisa kudzoka kubva pamaronda epanyama uye epfungwa uye avo vakatora hupenyu hwavo pachavo? Nhau dzavo, zvakare, dzinofanirwa kuudzwa, uye iwe uchazviwana mumashoko akanyorwa ku Bell Tower yedu.
Zvichida chinonyanya kupisa asi chinonyanya kuporesa cheBell tower yedu kuiswa kwekunyora kwekuyeuchidza kutambura kwe "vavengi vedu". Ndakawedzera zvinyorwa zvevabereki vangu vose.
