VETERANS FOR PEACE Chapter 100, Juneau, Alaska

Veterans For Peace is a national organization founded in 1985. They include 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.

For more info on the issues they cover, go here.
