Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 From San Francisco California to Alamogordo, New Mexico… 25 days, 1600 miles 7/23 Today, monks and supporters are walking from Barstow to Chambles, CA The epic journey is an eye-opening look into the ever lurking nuclear threat and the sacrifice of voiceless monks who for 60 years have carried the fate of humanity with each step… " Full Circle " - The Epic Return to Trinity... Almost 60 years ago a flame was kindled from the embers of the City of Hiroshima after the world’s first atomic bomb was dropped on a civilian population in hopes of ending World War II. Three days later, a second Atomic Bomb was dropped on the civilian population of the only Christian City in Japan, Nagasaki. The flame still burns today and has become a symbol of hope for peace and a reminder that nuclear weapons must never again be used on civilian populations. For decades Buddhist Monks have walked endlessly between Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the belief that their selfless sacrifice and prayers for peace will make Nagasaki the last city in the world ever to know the horrors of Nuclear War. Now, they will be joined by Native Americans, Veterans, and peace groups of all faiths for their final 1600 mile journey across deserts, over mountain ranges and through more than 250 communities as they walk from San Francisco to the Trinity Test Site in Alamogordo New Mexico, location of the first Atomic Bomb detonation. Once returned to its origin, the flame that has been kept for 60 years will be extinguished during a global television broadcast calling for an end to the threat and fear that we have lived with for four generations… Here's the link, if you would like to learn more. http://www.gndfund.org/index.html Fight back for stem cells http://www.StemPAC.com A politician is a man who will double cross that bridge when he comes to it http://stopviolence.care2.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
