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.

73rd Annual Asheville Holiday Parade. Theme: "Peace on Earth"

We had a good turn-out under bad conditions... steady rain throughout the preparations and marching. Thanks, of course, to all who were there and thanks to all who intended to be there but were wise enough to stay home, warm and dry... TOTALLY understandable.

Gratitude as well to those who engaged in preparations for the parade well before today: Keiko & Dana, Susan, Garland, Ken Jones, and Candace. Well done!
