Thoughts on Veterans Day
This Tuesday, our country observes Veterans Day, dedicated to all the men and women who have served our
country in the armed services. We are encouraged to thank our veterans, as we are mindful of all their
sacrifices on our behalf. This is a good and worthy thing. And yet, any student of history cannot pass this day
without noticing a certain irony: today we honor those who continue to fight, but originally November 11th
celebrated the end of fighting. On November 11th 1918, an armistice was declared in Europe, effectively ending the most brutal and widespread war in recorded human history. This “Great War” was the “war to end all
wars”—it consumed Europe and spread to all corners of the earth (a “world war”). Over 12 million people lost
their lives. The First World War has been called Europe’s “failed suicide attempt,” because while Christian
civilization survived the war, what emerged was horribly disfigured and poisoned. When the bells rang out
over the world on that November morning, no one understood the extent of the damage; all that mattered was
that the fighting had come to an end. From our vantage point a century later, we can see the tragedy of that
day: there was only an armistice (a cease-fire), not a real and lasting peace. This was not the “war to end all
wars,” nor the war to “make the world safe for democracy” (as Woodrow Wilson told our Congress). This was
only the beginning of a whole century of violence, aggression, betrayal, and fear. The ceasefire of 1918 and
the unjust peace of 1919 gave birth to both Soviet Communism and National Socialism (the Nazi Party of
Germany). For this reason, to anyone who understands the history, November 11th cannot but have an ominous or tragic feeling. How can we celebrate the end of war, knowing that that end was in fact only the beginning? It is telling that in 1954, prompted by veterans returning from the Korean War, President Eisenhower
changed the name of this holiday from Armistice Day, a day to celebrate peace, to Veterans Day, a day to
celebrate those who fight. Some may object: why bring all this up at all? Why not just leave the past in the
past and be thankful to our many veterans? Certainly it is our patriotic duty to honor those who have fought.
But it is also our Christian duty to see things in the light of faith. How does a Christian view issues as war and
peace? How can a Christian see the events of the 20th century and not feel a certain aching sickness at the absolute failure to make peace. We believe that peace is a fruit of justice, not the result of so much violence.
Peace cannot be won, it must be built. And so, for the Christian, there must be a certain bitter sadness about a
day such as Veterans Day. We should honor and thank those who serve, but on a much deeper level, we
must pray and work for peace, not settling for cease-fires, but yearning for a lasting peace.
—Fr. Fontana

“In light of the word of
Jesus, love is the measure
of the faith, and faith is the
spirit of love.
No longer can we separate
a religious life from
service to our brothers,
to those concrete brothers we meet.
No longer can we divide prayer, the encounter with
God in the sacraments, from listening to others, from
closeness to their lives, especially to their wounds.”
