Few miles away from LA Downtown is Carson City. The city established May 25th, a historical day of celebration for peace, as the HWPL Day. After a successful conference with the local religious leaders, Carson Mayor, Jim Dear, inducted May 25th as HWPL Day in Carson, CA. The conference at University of California, Irvine also provided the students from different religions to come together and established a strong connecting atmosphere.
"Regardless of who starts a war, who are the ones who fight it? It is the youth, our children. I was a witness of this when I fought in the war and saw people die before my very eyes. To create peace as a reality is to end war."
In order to honor the achievements of Chairman Man Hee Lee, Carson City awarded Mr. Lee with Honorary Citizen of the city. It is truly wonderful to see how one person can do to influence the world with the right mindset. We normally think that justice would not be recognized or appreciated, but through the actions and reactions of Mr. Man Hee Lee, we can see that there are still people in the world, who fight for peace and justice.
