Why do we celebrate Memorial Day? Many see it as a day off, picnics, family gatherings, but why was it established? To honor and remember those who have died in the service of war. In other words, Memorial Day is a consequence of war.

So by holding a vision to eliminate the reason for Memorial Day, we are asking for the elimination of war. You may say, it's not possible to eliminate war. But I ask, "why not?" Perhaps not in our lifetime, but if we do not hold the vision for the possibility, it will never become a reality. It has to start somewhere, so let it begin with me! Peace begins with me.
