During the Okinawa Battle of World War II more than 200,000 people lost their lives. The picture shows a part of Peace Memorial Park called the Cornerstone of Peace. The names of everyone who died in the battle are carved into the walls. How tragic that so many had to lose their lives. And how impressive that the response was to create a memorial that inspires peace.
The picture shows a broad road leading towards the Cornerstone of Peace. But, roads can be traveled on in either direction. People can walk toward this or they can walk away from it. Likewise, we have numerous choices in which we can step away from or step toward peace. Let's remember those who have fallen as a result of war and take step toward peace.

I think no one would like to participate in the war,and they are deprived of the right to life.
