First - a quick update, then, a gift! Thank you to all who are supporting the ongoing effort of Mattie's Foundation to have a "peace day" recognized annually on July 17. We will continue this effort in 2015, until peace becomes part of more and more calendars. We hope that in 2015, more local communities and families will recognize peace day, whether we have secured national recognition yet or not. Thank you for your ongoing support, and for spreading the word. We will send out more information about our plans early next year. In the meantime -- a gift from Mattie's Foundation as we move into the week with Mattie's favorite of all holidays --> Thanksgiving. Click on the link to enjoy Mattie sharing his "On Being Thankful" poem (link: http://youtu.be/jYFgqcn0TA0 ). He wrote this poem when he was 5 years old. Please feel free to share this "one minute gift" with others. (You can also access this from Mattie's website). More information about Mattie and how we carry his peace mission and vision forward can be found on his website -- www.MattieOnline.com. Peace, Jeni ("Mattie's mom").
