Smedleys, Samanthas, MFSO, UJP, Mass Peace Action and Friends,

Please join us on Monday, May 27 for our Memorial Day for Peace on Boston Harbor.

We have a wonderful program planned: We will remember our friend and partner in peace Charley Richardson, by Bonnie Gorman and Nancy Lessin. We will have a remembrance  of Hiroshima and Nagaski with David Rothauser, Producer of the film Hibakusha, and Kazue Cambell, a Hiroshima surviver. Sev Bruyn will speak about the Dangers of another nuclear catastrophe and Cole Harrison (Mass Peace Action) will speak about America after Hegemony. Webb Nichols will share his writing, "Common Thoughts on Our Common Humanity. A member from the Iraqi community will speak Doctor Ali Al-Ali and then we will have our Flower Ceremony. Rev. Lara Hoke and Rev. Ralph Galen will say the beginning and ending words. Brian Quirk will play the bag-pipes and Jesse Perrier will end the program with the playing of TAPS. 

Please join us and please pass the word to others to also join us.

Thank you,

Pat
