Dec 7 Reiyukai members in Honolulu, Hawaii paid their respects at the 72nd Pearl Harbor Day Commemoration. This day is memorial to the fallen soldiers who risked their lives for the hopes of achieving world of peace. Their dedication, courage, and sacrifice is an inspiration to all. Reiyukai members recognize their passion by making a pledge to continue applying the teaching and share with many more people to create a world of peace. A flower wreath was placed in their honor.
