The Original Mother's Day Was Conceived to Bring Warfare to an End

Julia Ward Howe, the author of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," wrote the original Mother's Day Proclamation in 1870, calling upon the women of the world to UNITE FOR PEACE!

Howe had just witnessed the carnage of the American Civil War, and the start of the Franco-Prussian War.

In honor, and respect, for the true purpose of Mother's Day—which is this Sunday—and on behalf of "No More Victims," a non-profit organization which brings war-injured Iraqi children to the United States for medical treatment--this beautiful video was produced:



This Mother's Day, celebrate the true meaning of the holiday by giving your mother an e-card with a donation to No More Victims: www.mothersdayforpeace.com

Please share this with every mother and daughter that you love!!!
