Dear Wieuca Family:

Memorial Day: A Day for Remembering

In a culture that struggles with attention-deficient, remembering is a painful but necessary discipline. The last Monday in May is designated for a unique and specific purpose: To remember.

As a holiday, Memorial Day usually does not generate as much enthusiasm as Christmas, Easter, or Independence Day, perhaps because Memorial Day is more an observance than a celebration. Originally, Memorial Day was a day to remember those who fought in the Civil War, but later this day was expanded to recognize those who fought in all American wars. This important holiday is not just another “day off” but a day to remember those who have lost their lives in the military service of our country.

Remembering historical facts should help us to remain consciously aware of the harsh realities of global conflict, past and present. Revisiting stories from the battlefield may enable us to learn from both the successes and the failures of our national ancestry. When we remember the fallen, we keep alive the individual and corporate legacies of valor and courage that inspire and challenge us to be responsible citizens of the free world.

For a free nation to remain free, remembering is imperative. John Logan urges us, “Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations, that we have forgotten, as a people, the cost of a free and undivided Republic.”

To fail to remember is to develop a convenient amnesia that eventually robs succeeding generations of their national heritage. To fail to remember creates a contagious apathy that leads to a neglect of both freedom and citizenship. To fail to remember can produce a false sense of protection and a perceived exemption from future warfare. A loss of memory eventually leads to a loss of national identity. Remembering is a painful but necessary discipline, a discipline that forges vision from memory, and a discipline that extracts wisdom from knowledge.

In The Roadmender, Margaret Fairless Barber suggests that “To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it the more fit for its prime function of looking forward.”

This Memorial Day let us remember the past with gratitude and look to the future with faith and fortitude.

I look forward to seeing you online this Sunday morning as we focus on “Learning to Sing in the Dark” (Psalm 77:1-2).

Barry
