World Gratitude Day - Sept 21 | International Day of Peace - Sept 21 | Help keep Care2 eCards FREE by supporting great causes! | Don't Let Republicans Destroy Medicare | America's seniors depend on Medicare to afford the health care they need, but right now Tea Party radicals in Congress want to destroy Medicare as we know it. It's unacceptable to even think about abandoning senior citizens and the health care they need! | | |
| Hi Arfin, Here's the latest Care2 eCards update! DID YOU KNOW? The International Day of Peace, or Peace Day, has been celebrated since 1982. Originally sponsored by Great Britain and Costa Rica, the United Nations declared the third Tuesday of September as the International Day of Peace to commemorate and strengthen the ideals of peace. The day is inaugurated by the ringing of the "Peace Bell" at the United Nations. The bell was created by coins donated from children from all over the world and was donated by the country of Japan to remind us of the human cost of war. It is inscribed with the words: "Long Live Absolute World Peace". | |
