Mother's Day

According to Wikipedia the First Mother's Day was established as a "Mother's Day for Peace". The pacifism campaign was subverted in 1908 by Anna Jarvis celebrating her late mother in West Virginia and commercial interests recognized the money-making capabilities of the holiday promoting flowers, cards, and candies. Jarvis later railed against the crass commercialization of Mother's Day. Police arrested her in 1948 for protesting it. Personally I believe in peace as I do the love for my mother. Love to all mothers.
