Henry Green is a British veteran of the Korean War. He had a successful life, but when it came to the war, he just couldn't speak. He was in this group therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder. Every time he attempted to speak in the group he would start to cry."

Caption: Each one of us needs to think very carefully about how we go about our lives and what it is we choose to do or not do. Are we planting the seeds for future conflicts by not demanding more responsibility from our leaders and/or are we nurturing those seeds already in the ground. We collectively agreed to end slavery and other forms of human rights abuse. Surely we can work to end war and the well funded institutions that sustain the notion that its an acceptable/noble option. It isn't. This photo tells us so.

Poster: Carole Marschall Madan
Caption: George Marschall, my father, suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome his entire life - from the beaches of Normandy in WWII until he died this past August. He not only didn't talk about the war, he couldn't function as a father or husband. War destroyed any chances my brother,sister and I had of having a father. The Devil loves war - it ruins lives and keeps us from seeing why God put us here in the first place - to make this a BETTER world. I live every day of my life trying to make this world better, from talking to Hispanic children to encouraging the young black entrepreneurs on each side of my home. I have this determination because my father never was.
