Every day is a new day. How you live it is your decision. Don't waste it. Our lives are like a flickering flame. We never know when it will go out. When tomorrow comes, this day is gone. In its place are memories we left behind. I pray that your memories will be filled with love. Not every day begins with a beautiful sunrise. Sometimes, it's stormy and raining, but it is all for a purpose. Love is like a flower. God has put that seed in your heart to grow. Without the rain, the flower won't be as strong and beautiful as it could be. Remember, storms come and go, but love stays forever. Love is not love unless it is given away. Live your life to the fullest with each new day. Remember that yesterday is gone and tomorrow is out of sight. Live for today and let your love grow strong.

This book bridges theoretical gaps that exist between the meta-concepts of memory, place and identity by positioning its lens on the emplaced practices of commemoration and the remembrance of war and conflict. This book examines how diverse publics relate to their wartime histories through engagements with everyday collective memories, in differing places. Specifically addressing questions of place-making, displacement and identity, contributions shed new light on the processes of commemoration of war in everyday urban façades and within generations of families and national communities. Contributions seek to clarify how we connect with memories and places of war and conflict. The spatial and narrative manifestations of attempts to contextualise wartime memories of loss, trauma, conflict, victory and suffering are refracted through the roles played by emotion and identity construction in the shaping of post-war remembrances. This book offers a multidisciplinary perspective, with insights from history, memory studies, social psychology, cultural and urban geography, to contextualise memories of war and their ‘use’ by national governments, perpetrators, victims and in family histories.
