Our newest OBON SOCIETY newsletter shares a very moving letter exchange between an American family and the Japanese family connected through the return of a wartime flag.

 

Their letters are a reminder that behind every artifact is a real human story filled with love, loss, remembrance, and healing.

 

These are the kinds of moments that show why peace education matters. No matter where we come from, we all love our families, mourn those we lose, and hope for peace.

 

We hope this story touches your heart as much as it touched ours.
