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.

    There is a rain location: The Friendship Hall of the UCC church at 20 Oak Street. Just around the corner from Pack Place. Easy walking distance from one location to the other. We would still love to have this event outside if possible. Only 50% chance of rain in the late afternoon. That is a 50% chance it will not be raining. Those odds could change. A decision will be made by 2pm. Please check back.
