SUMMARY:Peace Concert  On board  USS Missouri: Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the end of WWII
DESCRIPTION:On this date\, in 1941\, war between the United States and Japan was triggered by the attack on Pearl Harbor. The war officially ended on September 2nd\, 1945 at ceremonies onboard the USS Missouri. To celebrate the ensuing 70 years of peace\, and to promote peace for our children and all future generations\, a grassroots level peace concert is planned onboard the USS Missouri; a potent and enduring symbol of the harmony that now exists  between Japan and the U.S. \nFew things can create a shared emotional bond\, so quickly\, and across such a broad diversity of people\, as music. And when we have shared emotional bonds\, it is difficult to vilify and undertake acts of violence or war against another person or country. The USS Missouri\, which was once an implement of war\, is now a foundation of peace. Sharing this concert aboard Missouri is an important symbol that we\, as followers of peace\, need to show to the rest of the world. Free event.
