Kumhleli:
Kutshanje ndifumene ngeposi ikhadi leposi elikhazimlayo elinesihloko esithi “Sibulela amagqala ethu, i-CNY Veterans Parade kunye ne-Expo.” Kuboniswe ngokubalaseleyo iifoto zamajoni ahambahambayo, iitanki zomkhosi kunye nokukhahlela kolutsha, ngokuqinisekileyo, ngasemva kombala obomvu, omhlophe nobhlowu. Iposikhadi ibhengeza ukuba lo mboniso uza kwenzeka nge-6 kaNovemba kwaye kuya kubakho amaqela amatshayo, umz., iQela le-West Point Drill, imiboniso yomculo, umz., i-Fort Drum Rock Band, kwaye isingathwe ngu-Assemblyman William Magnarelli, D- ISirakuse. Into endiyifumanisa icinezelekile ngalo mboniso ungaphoxekiyo womkhosi womkhosi yindlela apho izixhobo zomkhosi-zemizi-mveliso kunye neshishini lezixhobo ziye zathimba ngempumelelo ukucinga kwethu. Baye basiqinisekisa ukuba imfazwe nemfazwe ziyimfuneko yaye zizukileyo. Balufezekisile olu tshintsho lwenkcubeko ngokunyanzelisa ukuba sibhiyozele uSuku lwamagqala emfazwe kunoSuku lweArmistice. Kuya kufuneka wazi ukuba kukho enye indlela.
Kwiminyaka engaphezu kwe-100 eyadlulayo, ihlabathi lalibhiyozela uxolo njengomgaqo wehlabathi lonke. Usuku lweArmistice lwazalwa kwaye lwatyunjwa “njengosuku olunikezelwe kwinjongo yoxolo lwehlabathi kwaye emva koko lubhiyozelwe.” Nangona kunjalo, ngo-1954 iNkongolo yase-US yathiya ngokutsha ngoNovemba 11 njengoSuku lwamaGorha kunye nokunikezelwa konyaka kuxolo lwehlabathi kwaguqulwa kwaba kukuzukisa imfazwe kunye nokunqula kwamaqhawe emkhosini. Usuku lweArmistice lwatshintsha ukusuka kumhla woxolo lwaba lusuku lokubonisa ukulwa.
le Usuku lwamagqala, ngoLwesine, ngoNovemba 11, 2021, ISahluko saseSyracuse samaVetera oXolo kunye neKomidi engaphaya kweMfazwe kunye neMilitarism, ikomiti edibeneyo yeBhunga loXolo laseSyracuse kunye ne-CNY Solidarity Coalition, bamema bonke ukuba bahlangane nathi ngo-10: 30 ekuseni eBillings Park, kwikona ye Isitalato saseMzantsi Salina kunye ne-East Adams Street, eSirakuse. USodolophu uBen Walsh uya kusijoyina kwaye akhuphe isibhengezo esibhengeza umhla we-11 kaNovemba, 2021, ukuba ibe luSuku lweArmistice loXolo kwiSixeko saseSirakuse. Siya kukhumbula izigidi ezabulawa, zenzakaliswa, zabahlolokazi, abavalelwa entolongweni, iinkedama nabagxothwayo ngenxa yemfazwe. Kumzamo wethu oqhubekayo wokubuyisela uSuku lweArmistice siya kuhlonipha abachasi bomkhosi.
Siza kuhlanganisana ngolu hlobo lundilisekileyo ukuba singanikeli imbeko kwizixhobo zentshabalalo kodwa sihlaziye ukuzibophelela kwethu ukusebenzela ukupheliswa kwazo zonke iimfazwe nokukhuthaza ubulungisa noxolo, ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe.
