WORLDWIDE PEACE MONUMENT
The World Peace Monument is being designed and will not be avalable for some time.
The PM Mission:
Nearly every "peace monmument" is actually a celebration or lament of some aspect of war - remembrance of the victims; celebration of the bravery or nobility of those who fought and died in them; a moment of relief for the defense of a homeland or the defeat of a tyrant. In that sense, our "peace monuments" are actually statements about war more than peace. War is so tightly woven into human consciousness that it is hard not to think about it as a necessary and inevitable feature of human life. Yet that is precisely what must be done if we are ever to find a way to end it, once and for all. That is the spirit to which this peace monument will be dedicated: The quest for the permanent, world-wide and irrevocable reality of peace.
