The Peace Fountain

The fountain was a beautiful gesture to Northern Ireland from many people and organizations here in the United States. It reminds me of the Statue of Liberty we received from France. It would be nice if nations recognized the accomplishments, the progress, of other countries toward peace and freedom more often. That fountain is a constant reminder to the people of Northern Ireland that although we are not just beyond the heather, but afar beyond a very broad pond, our hearts are with all the people of Northern Ireland.
