They need and deserve all of our support and respect."In addition to this, the Imagine Peace Tower is set to be constructed in Reykjavik. The base of it will be filled with international prayers and wishes. It will stand as a symbol of world peace.Ono says: "Each one of us was born at this time, not by chance, but to fulfil a mission. Our work is not yet done."I know that John's spirit will be joining us on that day, October 9th, in Reykjavik and I look forward to seeing you there to celebrate this exciting day. WAR IS OVER, if you want it. I love you."
