Hi,
You may find the email below of interest, including the short video shown at the end of the page. Dwight D. Eisenhower started the Sister Cities International (SCI) program during the time he was president. World Peace was important then, as it is now. Incidentally, the annual Peace Day is always on September 21st, endorsed by the United Nations and supported by nations around the world. To learn more about it, go to https://www.un.org/en/observances/international-day-peace
Thanks, Jim
