Today Lieutenant Stembridge noticed an RV and a van parked at Hardee’s and stopped to investigate. The individuals he talked with were members of Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run.

The Peace Run was founded by Sri Chinmoy in 1987. His simple message is that world peace begins within the heart of each of us, and that we all have an important and unique role to play in making our world a true oneness-home.

These individuals are from all over the world and are planning on running 10,000 miles through all all 50 states to promote peace. Their journey started in New York on April 16th!

Lieutenant Stembridge was able to get a photo holding the torch with the group. We wish them safe travels on their mission!

You can find out more information about their mission at peacerun.org.
