It is important that we celebrate United Nations Day because it commemorates our pursuit for world peace. As such, it should go beyond pageantry and costume party. To belittle the significance of the day is to deny the horrors of the two World Wars, the last of which gave us some of our darkest years. Our country is a founding member of the international peace, understanding, and cooperation body. This day is a time to ask ourselves whatever happened to our commitment. Its true that our hands are full but its no reason to not care about what is happening to our world.
