Veterans For Peace, Inc.
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 to:

• Increase public awareness of the full costs of war;

• Restrain our government from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations;

• End the arms race and to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons;

• Seek justice for veterans and victims of war;

• Abolish war as an instrument of national policy.

To achieve these goals, members of Veterans For Peace pledge to use nonviolent 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 interest of the group for the larger purpose of world peace.
