Throughout history children have often been used in war! You can find examples of child soldiers from ancient roman times all the way through to present day Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere in the world. Memories of the things that happen in war should not be a burden for children to bear!
“Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship consecrated to peace.” – Charles Sumner
