A semi-circle of bamboo poles outline the perimeter of a small garden in the northeastern corner of Darrough Chapel Park in Kokomo. In the center, 10 stone pillars representing virtues -- inscribed with words such as perseverance, integrity and serenity -- surround a solar-powered fountain. On the east side of the garden hangs a bell converted from a 105-millimeter Howitzer shell and suspended by a rope in the Japanese gate. Designed by Karla Stouse's IU Kokomo students, the Peace Garden honors the concept of peace and World War II heroes -- Pearl Harbor survivors, interment victims and the men of the 100th Infantry Battalion.
