USA: Maryland, Peace Garden of the Mattie J.T. Stepanek Park
Today was a beautiful day to join the Mattie J.T. Stepanek Park Dedication Ceremony at King Farm. The festival and activities were performed through out the entire Mattie’s Park. This series captured the best moments that took place at the Peace Garden of the Mattie’s Park.
Procession by Montgomery County Pipes and Drum Band.

Mattie’s messages engraved on every benches. There are more than dozen benches in the park, here are just a few.
Hope Mattie’s vision and passion for peace will continue to grow beyond this beautiful park and into the world.

Thank you, nataluna, Melissa and Chuplayer for your comments. Every time when I go to the park, I try to find and capture more benches and plaques with quotes from Mattie’s books. It’s quite inspirational.
