Statement of Purpose

We, as military veterans, do hereby affirm our greater responsibility to serve the cause of world peace. To this end we will work, with others both nationally and internationally.

To increase public awareness of the causes and costs of war.

To restrain our governments from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations.

To end the arms race and to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons.

To seek justice for veterans and victims of war.

To abolish war as an instrument of national policy.

To achieve these goals, members of Veterans For Peace pledge to use non-violent means and to maintain an organization that is both democratic and open with the understanding that all members are trusted to act in the best interests of the group for the larger purpose of world peace.

Some VFP Chapter 099 members at Freedom Square

 These photos were taken on October 8, 2011 at Freedom Square in DC.  This was the beginning of the STOP THE MACHINE!  CREATE A NEW WORLD! protest that is still ongoing.  Above is Ken Ashe talking to another veteran.  The next picture below is Ymani Simmons, with a couple of other activists.  She is wearing her Veterans for Peace shirt.  And the last picture below is Paul Turner, another local Veterans for Peace Chapter 099 member.
