  • Veterans Day more important than ever by Jennifer Wilkey * WCnewsmagazine Veterans Day is an important American observance, a day in which all government offices and many other businesses are closed and no mail is delivered. Yet many people do not know the significance of this patriotic holiday, regarding it as little more than an inconvenience because the banks are closed. Veterans Day is a tribute to the heroes of the American military, past and present, and should be taken more seriously. Veterans Day, initially called Armistice Day, started out as the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice between the Allies and Germans which ended World War |. At 5 a.m. on Monday, November 11, 1918, the Germans surrendered and signed the truce, which called for a cease-fire after four long years of fighting. On the first anniversary of the Armistice in November 1919, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation stating to us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the countrys service and with gratitude for the victory. It was not until 1927, however, that President Calvin Coolidge issued a formal proclamation which called upon Americans to display the flag in all government buildings and observe the day in schools and churches. In 1938, Congress passed a bill that each November 11 shall be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as Armistice Day. That same year, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill making the day a legal holiday in the District of Columbia. The United States formally observed Armistice Day for sixteen years with a ceremony at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington as well as nation-wide parades, religious services, the firing of volleys, and the sounding of taps. After World War II, there were many new veterans and fallen heroes. The term armistice, which was associated only with World War |, no longer applied. In the shadow of the Korean War, veterans groups decided to correct this and make November 11 a holiday which honors all people who have fought in the various American Wars, not just World War |. The first official Veteran's Day observance was held on November 11, 1953 in Emporia, Kentucky. Shortly thereafter, on June 1, 1954, the name of the holiday was legally changed to Veteran's Day by an Act of Congress. We have been observing it ever since. With the War on Terror being conducted in the Middle East, hundreds of thousands of men and women in the various branches of American military have served and are serving abroad today. Whether individuals agree with Americas presence in the Middle East or not, it is important to remember that Veterans Day is a chance to honor the people who are so far from their homes and loved ones, doing what they are Ordered to and even dying for their country. As there are fewer and fewer people living who remember the impact of the World Wars, it seems that many Americans, particularly the younger generations, have lost sight of the importance of Veteran's Day. Even though it is not a major conflict, we are in the midst of war; Veteran's Day should have special significance for Americans now more than ever. It would be nice to see college students observing this day like we do holidays when classes are cancelled. Whether by wearing American flag pins on November 11, having a university-wide moment of silence, or even just thanking a veteran, we can let our military know that we appreciate them and support their sacrifices. To quote President Eisenhower: On that day let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly, on the Seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain. WCnewsmagazine 17 ABC cancels Saving Private Ryan; whats going on? by Sergio Ortiz WCnewsmagazine For the past two years, the ABC Network has been showing Saving Private Ryanon | Veterans Day. This year however, many ABC affiliate stations decided not to show the movie in fear of receiving a fine from the Federal Communications Commission. This _ fear comes after CBS was fined a record $550,000 for the Janet Jackson incident at the Super Bowl. Other organizations, like the American Family Association (AFA), also decided to speak their minds against the wickedness of ABC for showing the movie during primetime viewing hours. Primetime is supposed to be when good family programming is shown, but if you change the channel during this time, you will see that there are some raunchy shows with half-naked women and others, like South Park, that have incredibly perverse language. This outcry over a movie that depicts to a certain degree what many veterans went through to defend our country is totally unnecessary. | think this movie brings honor to veterans because it serves as a reminder that our aged soldiers once went through hell in order to ensure democracy and freedom survive. If the movie was not aired because of the foul language and gruesome scenes, we then have to differentiate what makes this worse than turning the channels during primetime and stumbling upon a show in which a couple could be having sex, something our kids could come upon without the lack of parental supervision. Even commercials are too risque. Take for an example the Hardees commercial advertising a burger by having a beautiful woman riding a mechanical bull as she eats the burger. Every channel you turn to is no longer safe, so why make a fuss over a movie that will only air one time? People obviously just want to complain about the smallest things. The truth of the matter is that ABC isnt the only station showing controversial shows; they all are. You aren't going to be able safe anywhere unless you just turn off the television, so stop complaining. In fact, why not spend some quality time with the kids and ask how their day went? Read your kids a book, help them do their homework or play games with them. Family time doesnt necessarily have to happen in front of the television. | know | sound like a dictator by telling you what to do, but if the FCC and the AFA can decide what you can or cannot watch, then you are already being told what to watch. Fight the system or just change the channel.
