Light a Candle for PEACE
In Remembrance of the Costs of the Korean War and for a Peaceful Future
Monday July 27, 2009 at 7:15 PM
Candlelight Walk and Vigil
Fifty six years have passed since an armistice agreement was signed to bring a temporary end to the Korean War. A lack of a more formal peace treaty has meant that both Koreas have remained heavily militarized and are ready for hostilities to recommence at any time. As tensions between the United States and North Korea remain high we recognize it is time for a peace treaty to put a final end to the Korean War.
Please join us July 27th for a quiet candlelight walk and vigil for peace. Across the country vigils will be taking place in Hawai’i (Honolulu), California (San Francisco, Los Angeles), New York (New York City) and Washington D.C.
Place and Time: Gather in front of the former Slumberworld (1314 Kapi‘olani Boulevard) at 7:15 PM. We will be walking to Pawaa Park, 1400 South King Street. *You are welcome to bring a poem or a few brief words to share*
