OUR MISSION:

Veterans For Peace, Inc. (VFP) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational and humanitarian organization dedicated to the abolishment of war.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

We, having dutifully served our nation, do hereby affirm our greater responsibility to serve the cause of world peace. To this end we will work, with others

(a) Toward increasing public awareness of the costs of war.
(b) To restrain our government from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations
(c) To end the arms race and to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons
(d) To seek justice for veterans and victims of war
(e) 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.

We urge all people who share this vision to join us.

Our membership is comprised of veterans from all wars spanning from The Spanish Civil War to the Gulf War, and the Iraq War. These members are distributed amongst 135 nationwide chapters, and dozens of international affiliations.

Additional Info:

General counter recruitment education Additional Information : (e.g. mission statement, philosophy, etc.) We came together to bring the troops home from Iraq and end the US occupation there. We are also committed to quality care for returning veterans. Similarly we oppose US military occupation in Afghanistan and advocate for aggressive diplomacy and multi-national humanitarian action.  We work to prevent militarization of our youth and support anti violence youth actions locally. Last year we worked to get opt out information distributed widely to high school students and their families and to get the school board to take responsibility to inform students on their website.  We are peace makers looking to encourage non-violent resolution to conflict locally and globally and want to contain military contact in the schools as well as provide information to students & educators to prepare them for informed contact with the military.We Grannies lobby in Washington, gather signatures on petitions to bring the PA National Guard home in train stations and parks, meet with local legislators and Congress people, write letters, speak to community groups, sing on street corners and demonstrate wherever and whenever possible to bring the troops home!
