Kendra Mon replied to the discussion '10th Anniversary Celebration of the Dept. of Peace'" When I first heard about the idea, my response was "of course - - why didn't we think of that sooner?" Then I learned that many different people had thought of it and proposed it over the years. I…"
Bobbee Rickard replied to the discussion '10th Anniversary Celebration of the Dept. of Peace'"I became very interested in the concept of a Department of Peace 10 years ago when I heard of it.

Matthew Albracht replied to the discussion '10th Anniversary Celebration of the Dept. of Peace'"What initially inspired me about the Dept, of Peace, which I first read in 2001, was the scope!
