It takes millions of people willing to join in, and act for peace at critical junctures. From its beginning, the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation has made annual awards for Distinguished Peace Leadership . These awards have gone to some truly remarkable individuals, including some of those who also received the Nobel Peace Prize. In presenting our awards, we sought to inspire other individuals, and particularly young people, to make greater personal efforts for peace. The award that is presented has the outline of the globe etched in crystal.
Peace seeks to keep the world whole, to keep it from being ripped apart.
Peace is a healing art, and the world is its patient. The most important message of a peace award is that individuals can and do make a difference in the world. I believe that we are here for a purpose, and that purpose is to leave the world a better place than when we entered. There are many ways in which individuals can contribute to creating a better world. Each of us has our own unique talents to share.
