ukusuka Iindoda eziqhelekileyo
Ukulandela iMfazwe yokuQala yeHlabathi, ukuza kuthi ga ngelo xesha eyona mfazwe inamagazi neyona yonakalisayo kwimbali yoluntu, uninzi lwamazwe abethwa ngurhulumente agqibe isigqibo, okwexeshana, ukuba loo monakalo kunye nelahleko yobomi akufuneki iphinde yenzeke. E-United States, ngoJuni 4, 1926, iCongress yapasisa isigqibo esenzeka ngaxeshanye sokumisela uNovemba 11th, umhla ngo-1918 xa umlo waphelayo, njenge-Armistice Day, iholide esemthethweni, injongo nenjongo yayo yayikukuba "kukhunjulwe ngombulelo kunye nomthandazo kunye nokuzilolonga okulungiselelwe ukuqhuba uxolo ngentando elungileyo kunye nokuqondana phakathi kweentlanga."
Ngokuhambelana nesi sigqibo, uMongameli uCalvin Coolidge wakhupha Isibhengezo ngoNovemba 3rd Ngo-1926, “simema abantu base-United States ukuba babhiyozele olu suku ezikolweni nasezicaweni okanye kwezinye iindawo, ngeminyhadala efanelekileyo ebonisa umbulelo wethu ngoxolo kunye nomnqweno wethu wokuqhubeka nobudlelwane bobuhlobo nabo bonke abanye abantu.”
Ukuphazamiseka, nangona kuthiwa "yimfazwe yokuphelisa zonke iimfazwe," kunye nenjongo yoSuku lwe-Armistice ukwenza uNowa 11th lusuku lokubhiyozela uxolo, isisombululo sezizwe ukuqinisekisa ukuba "intando elungileyo nokuqondana phakathi kweentlanga" ziyaqhubeka, konke kuye kwawa ngokukhawuleza. Ukulandela enye ngokulinganayo "eyonakalisayo, eyothusayo, kwaye efikelela kude," iMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi, kunye "nesenzo samapolisa" eKorea, uMongameli uDwight D. Eisenhower wakhupha isibhengezo sokuba utshintshe utyumbe kaNovemba 11th ukusuka kuSuku lweArmistice ukuya kuSuku lwaMagqala.
"Mna, uDwight D. Eisenhower, uMongameli we-United States waseMerika, ngaba ubiza bonke abemi bethu ukuba bagcine uLwesine, Novemba 11, 1954, njengoSuku lweeVeter. Ngaloo mini masikhumbule ngokuqinileyo imibingelelo yabo bonke abo balwa ngamandla, elwandle, emoyeni nakumazwe angaphandle, ukugcina ilifa lethu lenkululeko, kwaye sivumeleke ukuba sibuyele emsebenzini wokukhuthaza uxolo oluhlala ukuze iinjongo zabo zingabi zize. "
Nangona abanye beqhubeka nokubuza isigqibo sika-Eisenhower sokutshintsha isikhundla, kuhlalutyo, inkuthazo yakhe kunye nokuqiqa kuyabonakala. Nangona wayekude ukuba li-pacifist, njengoMlawuli oPhezulu we-Allied Expeditionary Force ngexesha leMfazwe yesibini (II), wayeyazi kwaye eyenyanya intshabalalo kunye nokuphulukana nobomi obubangelwa yimfazwe. Isibhengezo sika-Eisenhower, ndingatsho, sisibonakaliso sokudana kunye nokudana ngenxa yokusilela kweentlanga ukulandela isigqibo sabo soSuku lweArmistice ukuthintela imfazwe kwaye bafune ezinye iindlela zokusombulula ukungavisisani. Ekutshintsheni igama, u-Eisenhower wayenethemba lokukhumbuza iMelika ngobundlobongela bemfazwe nokungabi nto, ukuzincama kwabo bazabalaza ngenxa yayo, kunye nesidingo sokuqinisekisa ukuzibophelela kuxolo oluhlala luhleli. Nangona igama latshintshiwe, isithembiso sokukhuthaza ubudlelwane bobuhlobo phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe nabo bonke abantu behlabathi sahlala sinjalo.
Ukuchaneka kohlalutyo lwam kuqinisekiswe yi-Eisenhower Idilesi yokuBala kwiSizwe. Kule ntetho iyimbali, walumkisa ngesoyikiso esabangelwa ngu KwiNkampani yezoLimo kunye nokuthambekela kwayo kwezomkhosi kunye neemfazwe ezingapheliyo zenzuzo. Ukongeza, uphinde waqinisekisa isicelo sokuhlala kunye ngoxolo kwisigqibo sakhe sosuku lomkhosi. "Simele sifunde ukwenza izinto ezingafaniyo neengalo," wasiluleka, "kodwa ngengqondo kunye nenjongo efanelekileyo." Kwaye ngemvo yongxamiseko olukhulu, walumkisa esithi "Kuphela ngummi ophaphileyo kunye nonolwazi onokuthi anyanzelise ukuxutywa ngokufanelekileyo koomatshini abakhulu bezomkhosi nabezomkhosi ngeendlela zethu zoxolo kunye neenjongo."
Ngelishwa, njengoko bekunjalo ngoSuku lweArmistice, isibhengezo soSuku lweeVeterans kunye neDilesi yokuvalelisa ayikhathalelwa. Oko washiya iofisi, iUnited States igcina phantse iziseko zomkhosi ezingama-800 kumazwe angaphezu kwama-70 kunye nemimandla engaphandle; uchitha i-$ 716 billion kwezokhuselo, ngaphezulu kwamazwe asixhenxe alandelayo adityanisiweyo kubandakanya iRussia, iChina, i-United Kingdom ne-Saudi Arabia; iye yaba umthengisi omkhulu wehlabathiI $ 9.9 yezigidi; Kwaye kuye ba ndakanye kwiimfazwe eVietnam, ePanama, eNicaragua, eHaiti, eLebhanon, eGranada, eKosovo, eBosnia naseHerzegovina, eSomalia, e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq, e-Pakistan, e-Yemen neSiriya.
Okubuhlungu kukuba, kungekhona nje ukuba izilumkiso ze-Eisenhower zinyanzelwanga kuphela, kodwa ukutshintsha ukutyunjwa kweSuku lokuSigxina kuMhla woLutsha lweeNtshontsho, uye wanika ama-militri kunye nabalweli bemfazwe indlela kunye nethuba, kungekhona "ukuzibuyisela emsebenzini wokukhuthaza uxolo oluhlala njalo" njengoko okokuqala ekujoliswe kuyo kwiSaziso sakhe, kodwa ukugubha nokukhuthaza ukulwa nobukhosi kunye nemfazwe, ukuvelisa nokuqhubela phambili iimbali zamhlonipho kunye nobuhle, ukuchasisa amalungu omkhosi kunye namaqhawe njengamaqhawe, kwaye ukukhuthaza ukubhaliswa kweefowuni zemfuyo kwiimfazwe ezizayo ngenzuzo. Ngenxa yoko, ndikhuthaza ukubuyiselwa kweNovemba 11th ukutyunjwa kwayo kwangaphambili kunye nokuqinisekisa kwakhona injongo yalo yangaphambili. Sifanele "Sibuyise Umhla we-Armistice."
Andiyifumani ngokucacileyo oku kuthethwa, njengoko ndiyindoda yemfazwe yaseVietnam kunye ne-patriot. Noko ke, ubungqina bokuthanda kwam, uthando lwam ilizwe, alubonakalwanga ngumkhosi wam wempi, nangona kunjalo, kodwa ngoku kwam kwamkela uxanduva lokuphila ubomi bam, nokuqinisekisa ukuba abo baphathiswe ubukhokeli belizwe bam bahlala babo kwaye ba lawula, ngokuhambelana ukulawulwa komthetho kunye nokuziphatha.
Njengegqala, andizukuphinda ndilahlekiswe kwaye ndiphathwe kakubi kwakhona ngabezomkhosi kunye nabaxhamli bemfazwe. Njengokuthanda ilizwe, ndiza kubeka uthando lwam lwelizwe ngaphambi kokuvuma okungachanekanga kwentlonipho kunye nombulelo ngenkonzo yam. Njengoko sibhiyozela i-100th isikhumbuzo sokupheliswa kobundlobongela "emfazweni yokuphelisa zonke iimfazwe," ndiza kuzama ukuqinisekisa ukuba iMelika endiyithandayo ibalasele, njengoko kusoloko kusitsho njalo, kodwa ingekuko ngamandla ayo asemkhosini aphezulu okanye ukulungela kwayo ukuyisebenzisa ukoyikisa, ukubulala, ukuxhaphaza, okanye ukoyisa ezinye izizwe kunye nabantu ngenxa yezopolitiko, ubuchule okanye uqoqosho. Endaweni yoko, njengegqala kunye nelizwe, ndiyayiqonda into yokuba ubukhulu baseMelika buxhomekeke kubulumko bayo, unyamezelo, imfesane, ububele kunye nokuzimisela kwayo ukulungisa iingxaki kunye nokungavisisani ngokusesikweni, ngokufanelekileyo nangokungenabundlobongela. La maxabiso aseMelika endizingcayo ngawo, kwaye ngempazamo ndicinga ukuba ndiyazikhusela eVietnam, ayisiyonyani nje yamandla kunye nenzuzo, kodwa zizikhokelo zokuziphatha okutyekele kwintlalo-ntle yolu hlanga, umhlaba, KUNYE NONKE abemi.
Abo bethu bayaziyo imfazwe banyanzelwa ukuba basebenzele uxolo. Ayikho enye indlela ebhetele, ethe kratya yokuvuma nokuhlonipha imibingelelo yamagqala nokubonisa uthando lwaseMelika kunokuthi “baqhubele phambili uxolo ngokuthanda kunye nokuqonda phakathi kwamazwe.” Masiqale ngokubuyisa uSuku lweArmistice.
