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.

PEACE TALKS in WNC! - Thursday, May 25, 2023 - 7PM-9PM

PEACE TALKS in WNC! - Thursday, May 25, 2023 - 7PM-9PM

@ Land of the Sky United Church of Christ,

15 Overbrook Place, Asheville, NC


Veterans For Peace - Western North Carolina is excited to invite you to

the first of our quarterly symposiums intended to educate and promote

action associated with issues that impact our ability to achieve peace

in our world. There are so many such issues that it should be obvious that

not just “peace people” are invited, but all who yearn for the just peace

that underpins genuine peace and all those who want to know and do more.


Each symposium will focus on just one main topic of concern with video,

readings, discussion and action planning, but there will be more to each

symposium than that.


Our main topic for the first symposium is titled,

"The Monroe Doctrine, Revisited: How 200 Years of U.S. Policy Have Helped

to Destabilize the Americas.”


Beyond the focus of our main topic we intend to include time for broadening

and deepening our community’s lived commitment to achieving peace

through reporting on our actions, results, plans, and celebrating all that

makes our corner of the world a place that nurtures a peace that catches

on well beyond our beautiful mountains.


Throughout the rest of 2023 at each symposium we will be celebrating

ourselves, Veterans For Peace Chapter 099, in observance of

our 20th anniversary in existence… and we will do that with CAKE!


Please join us, bring anyone you want to enjoy a world at peace with,

and spread the word about this. Any questions, please let me know.

Any assistance you’d like to offer is appreciated.
