  [All day event] PATRIOTISM is working for peace
Description:
"Happy are those who work for peace: God will call them his children!" ~ Matthew 5:9

Although Truman hastened the war's end with his controversial decision to drop the atom bomb, he ordered a "peace statement" to be made on the nation's presidential seal. It was used to sh ow an eagle with arrows (war) in one talon and the olive branch (peace) in the other. Early versions had the eagle face the arrows. Truman ordered all future versions to show the eagle facing the olive branch, to symbolize t hat our nation was turned toward peace, not war. ~ Mark Link, S.J.

What are some of the things pointing our nation in the wrong direction? Si r Knights, how can we move the nation in the right direction?

"O God... help us to keep in mind the real causes of war: dishonesty, greed , selfishness, and lack of love. Drive them out of this ship, so that we may be a pattern of the new world for which we are fighting." ~ Lord Hu gh Beresford, Royal Navy, 1941
