• You\ll find this tribute to John Lennon across the street from where the musician was slain in 1980.""More than 120 countries have endorsed the area as a “Garden of Peace”

• This day begins with the ringing of the “Peace Bell” at the United Nations.""Each September 21, the U.N. calls on all combatants around the world to lay down their arms
