President Joe Biden Honors Fallen Heroes On Memorial Day by SafemoonArmy: 7:10pm On May 31, 2021
President Joe Biden commemorated those who died serving in the military in Memorial Day remarks at Arlington National Cemetery and urged Americans to honor the fallen by strengthening and protecting the nation's democracy.

"Democracy itself is in peril, here at home and around the world. What we do now -- what we do now, how we honor the memory of the fallen will determine whether or not democracy will long endure," Biden said.
The President said: "We owe the honored dead a debt we can never fully repay. We owe them our whole souls. We owe them our full best efforts to perfect the union for which they died."
Biden said the nation must honor the sacrifices of generations of service members "by sustaining the best of America while honestly confronting all that we must do to make our nation fuller, freer and more just."
"Empathy is the fuel of democracy," the President said. "Our willingness to see each other not as enemies, neighbors, even when we disagree, to understand what the other is going through."
He spoke of the rising wave of autocratic rule across the world and argued, as he often does, that "liberation, opportunity, justice are far more likely to come to pass in an democracy than an autocracy."
"This nation was built on an idea, the only nation in the world built on an idea. Every other nation is built on ethnicity, geography, religion, etcetera. We were built on an idea, the idea of liberty, an opportunity for all," Biden said.

This is the same event where which Nigerian so-called security forces are killing anybody who tries to honor the people who were killed during their own Civil War right here in Nigeria. Why are Africans senseless?

shocked




Every country has a day set aside to honor both civilians and uniform personnels who sacrificed their life 4 it's course.

Gambia has 25th may as it's liberation day to celebrate it's fallen heroes.
Rwanda has it's own day
India, Isreal, US, Germany, Chile, Russia etc has it's own day. And each of these days is public holiday in all these countries.

Both Nigeria do not have a day to celebrate it's own heroes even the so called Jan 15 armed forces remembrance day is for millitary and not 4 civilians, the major reason it's not a public holiday.
Now that Igbos had decided to celebrate her own heroes since Nigerian govt doesn't celebrate her own heroes the govt is saying no
Nigerian govt aga abudi ogbenye but amosu

While a fooliaminy in South-East Nigeria is celebrating the remembrance of traitors.

Where people are celebrating the life`s of the brave men/women who fought for their independence and freedom, some dunces and busy sitting at home without electricity and clean water to mourn the men who choose to die on a platter of banana leaves.
