On Monday, May 29,

Peace Pole Planting & Dedication Ceremony as a Special Memorial
Day Event
to celebrate our link into a network of more than 200,000 Peace

It was to
honor those who died in war by coming together in a New Culture
of Peace. Deborah Moldow, Director of the World Peace Prayer
Society, led us in a moving World Peace Prayer Ceremony for all
the nations of the world.
