28 JUNE, 2020 - WINNING BY LOSING & LOSING BY WINNING

Today is the largest, most celebrated holiday in Serbia
VIDOVDAN (St. Vitus Day, Gazimestan, Kosovo Day -and a few more)

The 631-year-old remembrance to the 1389 Christian Serbian Army defeat (and the fall of Serbia) to 500 years of Islamic rule, which is ironically offset one week later by our 244 year old American "Independence" from Britain day on 4 July 1776.  (Serbian folklore teaches that in their "defeat", the Serbian nation actually "won" by finding "Unity"), now, in an ironic American reversal...  our nation was "winning"... and is now "losing" it all due to a lack of Unity in 2020.

Hence, my Winning by Losing/Losing by Winning byline.

 Today...when most participants are questioned about holidays, they have "no", or some confused
answer as to what is even being celebrated, and, as our world society becomes "mixed" and diverse,
casual and "woke", globalist, and seeking "one" of everything... the dilution furthers.
The truly sad and lossy part of 2020 National holidays (in any country-globally), is not the
misunderstanding of the day's origins, but, about the great-many other days of the year that led up to
and were (are) resultant "from"... a particular special event-day (especially here in America).
Almost every country has a certain number of "religious holidays" on their calendar, and, always
several war-related days, plus a great many days that honor people for their accomplishments in
creating the history of the country.  Here, in America... our diversity makes these memories complex.

In "ethnic" countries where one religion or ethnicity predominates, the Holiday events are easily in
unison...  it is "far" different in today's tear-it-down America, a good review of this list, deserves some
respect, and "thinking" about our "American Unity" (our people of historic importance and  the symbols
that got us here over the last 244 years), the history is as important as the future.
