The Peace Craving Generation

    The post World War II generation, my generation, has NEVER known peace. We've prayed for peace, marched for peace, bled for peace, and died for peace. Now we are burying our children and grandchildren in the search for peace. We crave peace.
    Our wars have many names: Korean War, Vietnam War, Cold War, Baltic War, War on Terrorism. The adjective changes, but the common term is WAR.
    More than one person has died every minute we have breathed as a direct result of war or genocide. Is peace attainable?
    Probably not, but we can hope our children figure it out.
