KuMhleli:
Ngisanda kuthola ngeposi ikhadi leposi elikhazimulayo elinesihloko esithi “Thanking Our Veterans, CNY Veterans Parade and Expo.” Okuboniswa kakhulu izithombe zamasosha ahambayo, amathangi ezempi kanye nentsha ibingelela, vele, ingemuva elibomvu, elimhlophe neliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Iposikhadi limemezela ukuthi lo mbukiso uzokwenzeka ngo-Nov. 6 nokuthi kuzoba namabhendi amashayo, isb, Ithimba le-West Point Drill, amakhonsathi, isb, i-Fort Drum Rock Band, futhi isingathwe ngu-Assemblyman William Magnarelli, D- ISirakhuse. Engikuthola kungikhathaza kakhulu ngalo mbukiso ongajabhile wezempi izinga lapho inkimbinkimbi yezempi-yezimboni kanye nemboni yezikhali ewuthathe ngempumelelo umcabango wethu. Baye basiqinisekisa ukuthi impi nezempi kuyadingeka futhi kuyakhazimula. Bafeze lolu shintsho lwamasiko ngokugcizelela ukuthi sigubhe uSuku Lomakadebona kunoSuku Lwezempi. Kufanele wazi ukuthi kukhona okunye.
Eminyakeni engaphezu kweyi-100 edlule, umhlaba wawugubha ukuthula njengomgomo wendawo yonke. Usuku lwe-Armistice lwazalwa futhi lwaqokwa “njengosuku okufanele lunikezelwe ngenjongo yokuthula emhlabeni futhi lugujwe ngemva kwalokho.” Nokho, ngo-1954 uKhongolose wase-US waqamba kabusha u-Nov. 11 njengoSuku Lomakadebona kanye nokuzinikela kwaminyaka yonke ekuthuleni komhlaba kwashintsha kwaba ukudunyiswa kwempi nokukhulekelwa kweqhawe kwezempi. Usuku lwe-Armistice lushintshile lusuka osukwini lokuthula lwaba usuku lokuboniswa kwezempi.
Lokhu Usuku Lomakadebona, ngoLwesine, Nov. 11, 2021, i-Syracuse Chapter of Veterans for Peace and the Beyond War and Militarism Committee, ikomidi elihlanganyelwe le-Syracuse Peace Council kanye ne-CNY Solidarity Coalition, licela bonke ukuba bahlangane nathi ngo-10:30 ekuseni eBillings Park, ekhoneni le- ISouth Salina Street kanye ne-East Adams Street, eSyracuse. UMeya u-Ben Walsh uzosijoyina futhi akhiphe isimemezelo esimemezela usuku lwe-11th lukaNovemba, 2021, njengoSuku Lwe-Armistice Lokuthula Edolobheni LaseSyracuse. Sizokhumbula izigidi ezabulawa, zalimala, zabafelokazi, eziboshiwe, izintandane futhi zaxoshwa yizimpi. Emzamweni wethu oqhubekayo wokubuyisela uSuku Lwezempi sizohlonipha abaphikisi bezempi.
Sizohlangana ngale ndlela enesizotha ukuze singazihloniphi izikhali ezibhubhisayo kodwa sivuselele ukuzibophezela kwethu ukusebenzela ukuqeda zonke izimpi futhi sikhuthaze ubulungiswa nokuthula, ekhaya naphesheya.
