"I DREAM OF GIVING BIRTH TO A CHILD WHO WILL ASK, "MOTHER, WHAT IS WAR?'" ~ EVE Merriam
“Eloquently presents the universal fear, sorrow, and suffering experienced by mothers whose lives have been profoundly affected by war.”
- Mary Tillman, mother of Pat Tillman killed in Afghanistan and co-author, Boots on the Ground by Dusk
“You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.” And, “The work of educating the world to peace is the woman’s job, because men have a natural fear of being classed as cowards if they oppose war.”
Jeanette Rankin, (1880-1973)

Many lyrics in National Anthems include phrases about war and remembrance.
The National Anthem of Canada ~ O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
The National Anthem of the United States
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
The National Anthem of the United Kingdom
Scatter her enemies,And make them fall:Confound their politics,Frustrate their knavish tricks,
