Now in its third year, the Peace Memorial is a monument to all people everywhere who have ever perished in warfare. The mission of the Peace Memorial Park Foundation of Portland Oregon is to maintain the park in perpetuity, present a lasting memorial to all victims of violent conflict, provide a place of reflection and inspire all who visit to make and act on a commitment to peace as an alternative to violence.
