As Cpt. Phoebe heads to Kuwait tomorrow on her way to Al-Taji airbase a mere 20 miles from Baghdad, I have decided that, to honor her, I will take one small action every day to help create a culture of peace. I'll be using this blog to log my actions.

Today I wrote a letter to Rep Delahunt in support of creating a US Department of Peace. This is what I said:
I urge you to support the establishment of a United States Department of Peace. We need a Secretary of Peace in the President's cabinet. As my daughter, Cpt. Phoebe Price heads for Kuwait on her way to Al-Taji airbase tomorrow as forward support for the 4th Infantry, I am knowing that this war did not need to happen. A Department of Peace can shift the paradigm of our government, and as Hurricane Katrina showed, keep us safer and stronger here at home. Please support this effort, and help America start to build a culture of peace.
