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
abolish war as an instrument of national policy.
(e) To seek justice for veterans and
victims of war
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.
