In recent years I have taken note of Veterans for Peace. I appreciate their Statement of Purpose:
"We, as military veterans, do hereby affirm our greater responsibility to serve the cause of world peace. To this end we will work, with others both nationally and internationally."

My Dad served as a medic in the US Army in Germany toward the end of WWll. He rarely, If ever, talked about his experiences of war. I cannot fully imagine the horrors he saw, experienced and endured. I wholeheartedly believe that Veterans Day offers us a time to honor veterans for their service and to recognize their work, and our work, for peace. It is a both/and for me, not an either/or, and this new book by "Why Veterans of War become Activists for Peace" is one I recommend to all.

costs of war lead to work on
its abolition.
