Amadoda nabesifazane ababeka ukuphila kwabo emgqeni wokuvikela inkululeko yethu kufanele babonge isizwe esibonga. Phakathi kwezinyathelo i-United States ibonisa ukubonga kwayo ngenkonzo nokuzidela kwayo ngokuhlinzeka ngezinzuzo zokungcwaba kanye nokukhunjulwa kwamalungu angamanje namalungu e-US Armed Forces. Lesi sihloko sinikeza umbono wokubheka kokufa, ukungcwatshwa kanye nokukhunjulwa kwezinsizakalo ezihlinzekwa nguMnyango waseVeterans Affairs we-US (VA).
UMengameli u-Abraham Lincoln ugunyaze ukudalwa kwamathuna okuqala kazwelonke kubantu base-veterans ngokushesha ngemva kokuqala kweMpi Yombango. Ngo-1870 - eminyakeni eyisishiyagalombili kuphela emva kokusayina lo mthetho - amathuna kazwelonke angu-73 asungulwe. Namuhla, amathuna kazwelonke angu-134 asezindaweni ezingu-40 nasePuerto Rico akhona, kanye nezindawo ezengeziwe zamasosha nezitokisi ezingu-33. I-VA's National Cemetery Administration igcina lezi zindawo. I-Arlington National Cemetery e-Arlington, eVirginia, yiyona eyaziwa kakhulu kulezi zamathuna.
Ubani Ongakulungeka?
Ukungcwaba emathuneni kazwelonke we-VA kuvulwa kunoma yiluphi ilungu lamaSiriya aseMelika (i-Army, Navy, Air Force, i-Marine Corps, noma i-Coast Guard) oshona emsebenzini osebenzayo, futhi noma yikuphi oweqile "okhishwe ngaphansi kwemibandela ngaphandle kokuhlazeka." Ngaphezu kwalokho, oshade naye (noma oshade naye ohlala naye) kanye nezingane ezincane zezilwane ezifanelekile zivame ukugujwa emathuneni kazwelonke we-VA.
Ezinye izimo zikhona ezingenza umuntu afaneleke, futhi abaqondisi bamathuna kazwelonke we-VA, noma ihhovisi le-VA lesifunda, banquma ukuthi umuntu ufanelekile yini.
Yiziphi Izinzuzo Zika-VA Ezitholakalayo?
I-veteran efanelekayo uzothola amathuna noma amakholomu we-columbarium mahhala kunoma yikuphi amathuna kazwelonke we-VA anesikhala esitholakalayo.
Uma kwenzeka umhlabathi oboshiwe ugujwa, lokhu kuhlanganisa ukuvula nokuvala amathuna, i-graveliner, ne-markmarker. Leyo yamuva itholakala ezintweni ezihlukahlukene, ezifana ne-bronze, i-granite noma i-marble, nezitayela ezahlukene, ezifana nezindlu noma eziqondile. Izinto ezibonakalayo nesitayela ngokuvamile zikhethiwe ukufanisa amamaki akhona emathuneni.
Labo abakhetha ukushiswa nokushiswa kwesikhumba se-columbarium bazothola isembozo se-niche, esitholakala nge-bronze, i-granite noma i-marble. Okunye futhi, ukwaziswa kuzovame ukufanisa izembozo ze-columbarium ezikhona emathuneni athile kazwelonke.
Ama-veterans afanelekayo azophinde athole ifulege lase-US , kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bazimisele yini ukukhetha. Lokhu kuzokhipha ikhakhethi ngesikhathi senkonzo yomngcwabo, kuze kube sekungcwabeni, noma kuhambisane nokuvutha kwamanzi ngesikhathi sokungcwaba noma inkonzo yesikhumbuzo . Ekuphetheni kwensizakalo, ifulegi eliboshiwe lizolethwa kumngane wesihlobo esilandelayo noma umamukeli oqokiwe.
Abathandekayo abasindile bezilwane ezifanelekayo bangase bacele isitifiketi seMongameli Sikhumbuzo . Isungulwe ngo-1962 nguMongameli uJohn F. Kennedy, lezi zitifiketi zamaphepha eziqoshiwe zisayinwe ngumongameli wamanje wase-US futhi zibonisa ukubonga kwesizwe.
Okokugcina, wonke umlindi ofanelekile angathola imikhosi yemingcwabo yempi yomngcwabo . Lokhu kuhlanganisa ubuncane bezempi ezimbili ezenziwe ngendlela efanayo - okungenani oyedwa wabo omelela igatsha le-veteran oshonile lomdlalo wezempi - odlala "I-Taps" nokunamathisa / ukwethula ifulege lase-US kumuntu olandelayo noma umamukeli oqokiwe.
Ukuhlela ama-VA Izinzuzo
Ngemuva kokushona komuntu omdala noma othembekile kuye, wena noma umndeni wakho kufanele nizise umqondisi womngcwabo ngesikhathi senkomfa yokulungiselela insizakalo yempi yomthandi wakho (noma ubuhlobo nomuntu omdala) bese ucela izinzuzo zokungcwaba ezempi nezokukhunjulwa.
Isihlobo esilandelayo sezilwane singase sithintane neHhovisi likaHulumeni likaZwelonke (CSO) ukuqala inqubo.
Okufanelekile, umndeni wakho kufanele unikeze umqondisi womngcwabo noma i-NCSO ngepopi yamaphepha asemthethweni okukhishwa kwezempi. Ifomu "I-DD-214", eyaziwa ngokuthi "Isitifiketi Sokukhululwa Noma Ukukhishwa Emisebenzini Esebenzayo," iyona evame kakhulu futhi isetshenziswe yiwo wonke amagatsha ezempi kusukela ngo-1950. I-DD-214 ngokuvamile inelungelo lokunquma ukufaneleka kwesidakamizwa yokungcwatshwa emathuneni kazwelonke we-VA. Uma le fomu ingatholakali, i-NCSO izoqoqa ulwazi mayelana nomuntu olwade naye bese iqala ukucacisa ukufaneleka kwayo ngaleyo ndlela.
Inhlonipho yempi yomngcwabo inikezwa nguMnyango Wezokuvikela, hhayi i-VA. Imindeni enesithakazelo sokucela lo mkhosi othandekayo wayo kufanele yazise umqondisi womngcwabo ngesikhathi senkomfa yokuhlela.
