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.

These photos come from a NO WEAPONS IN SPACE march around downtown Asheville on October 9, 2021. This is part of KEEP SPACE FOR PEACE WEEK events around the world.

Letter To The Editor

Thanks to Bruce Carruthers for being the ghost writer for this letter that I was happy and proud to get published today in the Asheville Citizen-Times (although I asked that it be published ON Memorial Day and signed it as submitted by Veterans For Peace). Oh well.

Vets for Peace weekly vigil


Since Veterans for Peace, Chapter 099 vigil has been cancelled due to 'stay at home' orders, we offer up this photoshopped version of a prior vigil. Original photo taken by unknown person, but photoshopping was done by Brandon Jones.

We often have a sign that says "Healthcare Not Warfare" at our vigils.
