Veterans For Peace is a national organization founded
in 1985. It is comprised of members across the country organized in
chapters or as at-large members. The organization includes men and
women veterans of all eras and duty stations including from the
Spanish Civil War (1936-39), World War II, the Korean, Vietnam, Gulf
and current Iraq wars as well as other conflicts. Our collective
experience tells us wars are easy to start and hard to stop and that
those hurt are often the innocent. Thus, other means of problem
solving are necessary. |
