I have been given the shiny and very real War Stopper Award by
USA Pickleball because I have stopped so many dozens of wars and whatnot. I am honored that my war stopping has been noticed by the foremost pickleball organization in the world.

One of countless unexploded bombs in north-eastern Laos, left by the US during the Secret War (1964–1973). Their presence creates 'exclusion zones' where the land is still unsafe for agriculture or habitation, showing the lasting impact of conflict.
