Veterans For Peace
(Statement of Purpose)
Veterans Working Together
for Peace & Justice Through
Non-violence. Wage Peace!
We, having dutifully
served our nation, do hereby affirm our
greater responsibility to serve the cause
of world peace and justice.
Americans will be secure at home only
when there is peace and justice
abroad. To this end, we will work,
with others:
#1 toward increasing
public awareness of the costs of war,
#2 to restrain our
government from intervening, overtly and
covertly, in the internal affairs of
other nations,
#3 to end the arms race
and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons,
and
#4 to abolish war as an
instrument of international policy.
To achieve these goals,
members of Veterans For Peace pledge to
use non-violent means and to maintain an
organization that is democratic.
Veterans for Peace, Inc.
(VFP) is a non-profit 501(c)(3)
educational and humanitarian organization
dedicated to the abolishment of
war. VFP was founded in 1985 by
ex-service members committed to sharing
the horrors they experienced.
Our membership is
comprised of veterans from all wars
spanning from The Spanish Civil War to
the Gulf War. These members are
distributed amongst 86 nationwide
chapters, and dozens of international
affiliations.
Our international
activities include working with our
affiliations in El Salvador, Russia,
Canada, Japan, Guatemala, Viet Nam, the
Netherlands, Chiapas (Mexico), France,
England, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vieques (Puerto
Rico), and numerous others. A
member of the Nobel-Peace Prize winning
Coalition to Ban the Sale and Use of
Landmines, VFP has been undertaking
arduous tasks since its inception.
From bringing medical aid to Central
American nations, to evacuating wounded
children from war-torn Bosnian hospitals
and securing medical treatment elsewhere
around the globe, or just sitting down
with American high school kids so that
they may make choices for themselves
based on reality, and not myth. We
remain firmly committed to the abolition
of war.
We know the consequences
of American foreign policy because once,
at a time in our lives, so many of us
carried it out. We find it sad that
war seems so delightful, so often, to
those that have no knowledge of it.
We will proudly, and patriotically,
continue to denounce war despite whatever
misguided sense of euphoria supports it.
Wage Peace!
