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.

A Quote from VFP Executive Director Garett Reppenhagen:

The US seems to be entering a new era of military engagement. The Global War on Terror is morphing into a new cold war with major world powers. Unilateral fights with proclaimed terrorist groups may give way to more conventional warfare between well-equipped and trained national militaries.  We teeter on the verge of nuclear war as world leaders threaten Armageddon. Climate chaos and violence in the wake of scarcity, migrating communities and failed states will certainly set the stage for increased militarization.
