Hiroshima and Nagasaki Remembrance Vigil

August 6, 2024 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Free

Please join us for a  Hiroshima & Nagasaki Remembrance Vigil at the banks of the Merrimack River in Concord. We park behind Everett Arena, towards the front,  left side of the big parking lot, left side as one drives into the parking lot. A boat launching place is there. We have time to aloud reflect, each, on what we already know or think of the WW2 use of the A-bomb. Then we read from cards, victims’ names and ages, and what they did for occupation. These are taken from Hersey’s book. We place flowers as we say victims’ names, and see the flowers float down the river. This year we add candle boats too.  Anyone who can come, please do. We bring some extra flowers, but any who can bring flowers (even goldenrod and queen anne’s lace at this time of year!) is welcome to do that. We usually then have light refreshments.

Questions?  Email Lynn or Karolina
