@simon_sandall: 🖤🏳️‍🌈🌺 Why Do We Have Months for History and Pride, but Only One Day for Remembrance? #blackhistorymonth #pridemonth #remembranceday #veterans #respectandequality

So you are partly right. But wr have the festival of remembrance the Friday before remembrance Sunday if the 11th of November is not on a Sunday then we have that day as well. We also have VE day VJ Day. You are quite often see services and memorials happening on DDay so you are right that it might not be one whole dedicated Mum but actually there’s multiple celebrations spread throughout the year plus it might not be some big grand illustrious event like pride but actually smaller military Community such as specific communities specific regiments and teams may meet at times throughout the year that have specific importance to their own battles and events.

💯% agree with you and what’s worse some veterans are homeless or suffer mental health issues but get little or no support from the government that asked them to make the sacrifice in the first place

fr and its just before christmas and just after halloween so it gets overlooked

noah 🎧 :

i understand i think it’s because of the day when the fighting stopped, so instead of a month they have the day the fighting ended, i agree it should be a month aswell

Events that are based around remembering a set of tragic events tend to be one day: remembrance Sunday, Holocaust memorial day, Trans day of remembrance, etc. Month long events are more about the continued struggles of communities that don't enjoy the same level of inclusion and are about celebrating, reflecting and protesting as part of their ongoing journey. A month long veteran month would be good to raise awareness of mental heath issues veterans can face, homelessness, the sacrifices people have made, teaching folk about key points in history, recognising families of service folk, raising money for veterans charities, promoting career choices in the services, etc. It could be really good, *but* it carries a risk that certain individuals would use it to fuel nationalism or celebrate war and military dominance. I can think of several politicians who would use it to further their own agenda and have tanks and missiles rolling down the street to show off military prowess. So, great idea, but needs careful positioning in the execution
