Honoring your heritage is what the Fifth Commandment's context looks towards. Not honoring those who have gone before to enable you to have the opportunity to live a better life, is outrageous ingratitude.

Communities, tribes & nations, are multi-generational continuums. There is hubris, the false pride that goes before a fall, and their is inspiration & emulation of role models, which are important in the upward striving of every people.

[Spok]

Honoring and respecting those who have gone before us is a moral obligation, but taking credit as though their accomplishments are ours is wrong.
