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.
