"...I have a bumpersticker on the back of my truck that says "give peace a chance". One day while I was working a gentleman saw the sticker and stopped to give me and my friend each one of your cards with the button and being people of that era, my husband and I really loved it... so we thought we would order some and spread the message. Thank you, we love your sight and look forward to getting our buttons." -Summerfield, FL
"I have a child care center, and we have school aged children who will be on a mission come Monday to spread a little peace around our community and their schools. We will be distributing what we ordered throughout the day. Peace Day is a big deal to us, and the items we ordered were affordable, and cool. So, Thanks...Jessie"

"...I passed out the colored peace pins at a Christmas Eve party. At first everyone was,”Why are you passing out peace pins?” Then they were fighting over the different colors and asking for pins for their friends and family. Everyone wore their pin and understood. It was awesome! (They seemed to like the pink and blue ones the best!) Have a very happy, healthy, and peaceful New Year!" -Jackie Dick, Royal Oak, MI

"A
while back, I purchased pins, magnets, and pencils from your
site.
I work at a 1st and 2nd grade school and peace has been an
important subject and lesson that we have tried to teach our
students. To celebrate the 50th anny of the Peace Sign, every
teacher and staff member chose an item. I can't tell you the
raves your merchandise received! The children were intrigued
and many recognized it. It gives me such hope to see that we
didn't lose peace as the ulitmate goal along the way." -Jefferson
Township, New Jersey

"Last
Sunday we were leaving mass at Trinity Episcopal Church
on the green in New Haven, Ct and I spotted a big basket
on the back table, filled to the brim with your buttons!
We took 3, and said to our priest he should have mentioned
them being there during the annoucements. I don't know
who placed them there, but we were thrilled to
find them. I am thrilled to have found your site, and will be ordering from it."

"I'm
so glad I found this web site. My sister and I have been
looking for a place to purchase peace signs for our cars.
I finally just googled it and that's how I found this awesome
site. It has everything I was looking for. I'm 53 and some
of my friends laugh at me because I still have the long hair,
wear bell bottoms and I love my peace signs. We need to get
this symbol back especially with all the hatred, terrorism,
and wars that are in our world now. Thank you for writing.
I'll be visiting the site occassionally."
-Tampa, Florida

"This
is my second order from you. I found you the first time with
an internet search looking for peace symbol buttons! I LOVE
THE PEACE HISTORY EMAILS! Please keep them coming. I was
protesting the war in the 1960's, marched on Washington,
etc. The sad thing is that now at 57 I am still protesting
war... I went to the January
27th March on Washington last year - organized by United
for Peace and Justice, and I am a member of both UFPJ and
Peace Action. Thanks for the history, and keep up the good
work! I plan to start giving the buttons out at church, as
many as I can afford."
-Tolland, Connecticut
"I will
also spread the peace message - again this year, my Christmas
card message is "Peace on Earth". But this
year, I will include a PEACE clear sticker in each card. If
even ONE person displays the decal in their car, I will be
very happy!" -Cape Canaveral, Florida
"For
the last several years we have worn Peace Buttons and included
them in Christmas cards and 'Peace Pack' gift bags
that we put together.
Sadly, we found another use for them.
About 300 Peace Buttons were given out at the memorial service
for our beloved son-in-law,...killed
by an IED in Baghdad April...2007. (He) hated this war
and was counting the days until he could come home.
Incredibly,
there were some people who refused to accept a button...could
it be that there really are people who don't believe in Peace?
There clearly is still work to be done...
The buttons we have
left will be placed in a basket in the teachers' lounge where
I work with the following note: 'Please
wear a button to honor Jason" and the following quote
from Gandhi: 'If we are to are to reach real peace
in the world we shall have to begin with the children.'"

who is 11 is giving them out at school. I was surprised so

"You know, people were thrilled to find them in the store..some
folks bought 5 at a time, parents bought them for theirchildren,
and just having them, I found, seemed to get people to stop
and talk and share their views, and to feel safe in doing
so.
Right on."
-Homer, Alaska
"I received the hooded t-shirt I ordered - a birthday present for my teenage

been a big advocate of "peace sign" communications,
so I had a couple of graduation gifts to get and it just seemed
like the best idea. Start em' off on the right foot and prepare
them for what is ahead!! and thanks for the "extras".
One of my graduates is a writer and the pencil will work just
great!! You'll hear from me again-and I like the emails with
the information on peace." -Springtown, Texas
"Thank you so much for your prompt reply and shipment - I really
appreciate it. I am an old hippie who lived through the turbulent
60s and 70s - a time of great possibilities. My daughter is

am very proud of her convictions and know she will make many
contributions in her lifetime."
-North Mankato, Minnesota

so much for all that you have done for the PEACE lovers during
these troubling times. You have continued to give us hope

reaction, which for me has always been one of appreciation!!
Keep up the good work!!" -White Lake, Michigan

made an order for two peace buttons a week ago
or so, and we just got them.
I have to say, not only do I appreciate
your work and fine buttons but I appreciate the fact you went
out of your way to thank her for "making peace more visible".
That form of generosityand kindness is often lacking, not only
in buisnesses, but between people as well. Thank you. Also,
I am a grad student to become a teacher and would love some
of the info slips of paper to pass around campus tomy fellow
student-teachers."
-Beaverton Oregon

"Hello there... I wanted to thank you again for the great products.
This past weekend I presented a paper at the South Eastern Women's

there, and everyone loved them! I'll be ordering more soon- but
thanks again!"

etc. yesterday.
They're great!!! I really like them a lot,

over the map as you have proven.
I think this is a great project,
keep up the great work!" -Mississauga Ontario, Canada
