There are a lot of people all over the world and at home fighting for democracy every day and very few of them have uniforms or guns. That struggle is ongoing and carries on long after the military battles are done.
The fact that we send soldiers off to fight and to die absolutely should be remembered but unfortunately that gets conflated with military and nationalistic pride.
