My 1000th post is to reference the story of Sadako & the Thousand Cranes.
Sadako Sasaki was the young Japanese girl who survived the Hiroshima bombing, but later died from radiation sickness when she was 12 years old. Sadako is a symbol of Peace throughout the World due to the strength she showed while fighting against her illness and folding hundreds of Paper Cranes.
