An 81-year-old ceremonial flame was delivered from Yame City, Fukuoka, where it had been kept alive since the Hiroshima bombing in 1945.<\/p>\n

Descendants of past leaders came together to blow out the flame and sign an oath of peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stand here not to let hatred end in hatred, nor to let sorrow lead to further sorrow, but to pass the light of hope to the future,\u201d said Clifton Truman Daniel, grandson of former President Harry Truman. \u201cWe hereby declare an end to the war remaining inside us. We declare the end of the war in our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The flame extinguishing ceremony symbolized a shared forgiveness and a long-standing commitment to peace between both countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the World War II, our Tojo family, as the family of a war criminal, was a face to endure extremely harsh circumstances. But now, I can proudly tell my two sons our world is not so bad after all,\u201d said Hidetoshi Tojo, great-grandson of late Japanese General Hideki Tojo.<\/p>\n

For many, the ceremony prompted remembrance and reflection.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, it\u2019s an educational opportunity for people to see, look, we\u2019re demonstrating what we\u2019re asking you all to do, which is learn from history so that we don\u2019t repeat it,\u201d said Tom Leatherman, Superintendent of Pearl Harbor National Memorial.<\/p>\n

\u201cLearn from history so that you can carry that legacy forward, and that we can then promote a more peaceful world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pearl Harbor will host additional Memorial Day events throughout the weekend. All are free and open to the public.<\/p>\n
