Memorial Day, In Memory of the Fallen |
|
| |
By Cynthia and Michael Orange
Memorial Day. I have the same trouble with this day as I do with Armistice/Veterans Day, the Fourth of July, and every stone memorial I've seen for our fallen soldiers. Beneath their obvious solemn messages of sacrifice and loss, I fear a subtle homage to war. I'm sick of war.

11 Bells Ring Out Joy for End of Violent Conflict |
|
| |
Once again, Veterans for Peace Chapter 27 is asking churches and other groups to join with us and ring the bells on or around Armistice Day, November 11, 2010. The Armistice of 1918 ended the terrible slaughter of World War I. The U.S. had experienced the death of over 116,000 men, plus many who were physically and mentally disabled, severely needing ongoing care. For one moment at the 11th hour of the 11th day on the 11th month, 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918, the World agreed that World War 1, must be the War to End All Wars. There was exuberant joy everywhere and many churches rang their bells, some 11 times, to mark the signing of the armistice.
