Greg Reitman states, "Looking back at my time in Japan and other moments in time, it is a wonderful and joyous occasion for me to commemorate the first 'ROOTED in PEACE' tree planting ceremony as a remembrance for the world to learn and grow of what occurred during World War II".    

Universal Peace Day was organized to bring people around the world together and to reflect and remember the exact moment of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  "It is important for people around the world to remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki and say never again. NO MORE HIROSHIMA! NO MORE NAGASAKI! NO MORE NUCLEAR WEAPONS!," states SuZen, founder of Universal Peace Day.

On Wednesday, August 5th, at 7:15 PM, a candle lighting ceremony will take place to recognize the exact moment of the Hiroshima bombing along with 'A Peal for Peace Bell Ceremony'.  The Interfaith Peace Gathering Ceremony will take place at the New York Buddhist Church, 331-332 Riverside Dr at W. 105 St in NYC with a Peace Walk and Peace Concert followed after at the church of St. Paul & St Andrew at W 86 St and West End Ave. For more information visit  www.universalpeaceday.com.
