 (Brief paragraph describing the whole concept and plan)

"Nearly thirty years ago, Americans did

we remember as My Lai.
Here is a chance to do something beautiful
in that same place."
- W.D. Ehrhart, VietNam veteran and poet

"Grandfather, Great Spirit, we point this pipe to the heavens
and ask you to look on the people of Viet Nam and America
as we share the dove of peace in a spirit of friendship,
and to guide our steps on a bridge of understanding
between our two nations."
-- from the Peace Pipe Ceremony at the dedication of the

Vietnamese-American Peace Park, November 11, 1995.
