Remember What Is Conflict on Memorial Day
Posted By admin on May 20th
You don’t have to believe in war to honor warriors.
What is conflict? Conflict can be defined as a state of open, prolonged fighting. Conflict is inevitable. Conflict is all around us.
Although my goal is to help people manage conflict, it is not always possible. In some situations, there are winners and there are losers. Some conflicts are so large and horrific, that the losers die.
This Memorial Day, rather than ignore that conflict exists, take a moment, an hour, the day, to remember a fallen or wounded warrior. Remember a loved one or a stranger that has been the victim of conflict.
Memorial Day was established to pay respect to individuals who have died in wars or in the service of their country. In my mind, that includes victims of terrorists and victims of random shootings. Victims at Sandy Hook and victims at the Boston Marathon.
Consider doing these things on Memorial Day:
- Visit a gravesite
- Attend a ceremony or service
- Attend a parade
- Display the flag of the USA
- Read prayers, poems, and sing songs
- Explain to your children the meaning of Memorial Day
- Visit with a war veteran
- Visit a monument
