The View from Squirrel Ridge: Peace Quote

November 11, 2021

Peace Quote

I saw this large blue sign/mural in Merrifield's Mosaic District, a locale known for shopping, restaurants, and murals.

“Peace is not something you wish for; It's something you make,

Something you do, Something you are, And something you give away”

― John Lennon

Today is Veterans Day, and many of us paused to appreciate the sacrifices and contributions made by veterans. I had a thought: Let's take that $300 million a day that we were spending on the recently-ended war in Afghanistan and give it to our veterans!

John Lennon was a wise man. Too bad we continue to ignore his message.
