Peace Arch

Peace Arch

This is the Peace Arch at the park on the U.S.-Canadian border near Blaine, WA, looking from the U.S. side toward Canada. The engraved words across the top say, “Children of a Common Mother.” The park is the scene of many special peace and justice events, such as the Arlington Northwest exhibit every Memorial Day remembering soldiers who have died in Iraq. It’s a time for recommitting to peace so soldiers everywhere can come home.
