5^th ANNUAL UNITY DAY USA, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2009 AT 5:30 PM

The Civic Leaders including Mayors of Irving, Carrollton, Richardson, Grand Prairie and council members from many a cities participated. The fire and police chiefs, the County Chief among others were honored for the work they do in protecting our lives. Each one of the mayors spoke for a brief 3 minutes about the need to co-exist and, what they are doing to promote social cohesion in their cities.  

Faith Leadership - Each faith tradition shared a line of wisdom from their tradition. Unity Day USA is about re-affirming our faith in the goodness in humans, and the longing for harmony and co-existence. Faiths included were Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, Earth Based Tradition, Hindu, Muslim, Jain, Jewish, Sikh, Wicca and Zoroastrian faiths. We did miss the Atheist/humanist representation this one time, which was filled in by Mike Ghouse.  

The audience participated with joy, about 35 of them got on the stage in groups of three, and each group read the wisdom of religions mentioned above, written in 100 words. 

The purpose of Unity Day is to bring together Americans of all hues and rededicate our pledge for peace, prosperity and unity of our nation. 

Recognitions - Several members of the community were recognized for their contributions in making this world a better place.
