由Jalapeño, Guiding Mind編輯: 5/31/2025 1:10:19 PMNo official month. We got veteran’s day on 11/11 and Memorial Day on May 26th. Edit: there actually is a month in November. Shows how little it’s publicized. Edit part 2: it’s actually in may like oc said. The internet sure is unreliable these days ain’t it.

Appreciation of the Military members who died is still military appreciation is it not? I am well aware of the purpose of Memorial Day, having put flags on veterans graves every Memorial Day for 10 years and being in the color guard for the last 5 of my local Memorial Day ceremony.

It’s really about the end of World War 1 in general as a global atrocity where EVERYONE suffered. And if we are going to talk up memory, and play armchair history buff, these things actually matter.

由MythosPraxis編輯: 5/31/2025 8:24:11 PMAh so I’ve got it backwards then. This one is the civil war then. Which again, not just for soldiers— and largely done as a concession to those grieving in the South for the sake of reconstruction…. Which, even more problematic today. There are already so many. Hard to keep track of. Yet we are fighting— without saying so— about a -blam!- shader in a videogame as a representation of marginalized communities. When, often times, at least in the USA, soldiers are in fact themselves from marginalized communities because of how class works here. You don’t see people with backgrounds like Cadet Bone Spurs enlisting regularly.
