About Veterans for Peace:
Veterans For Peace is a national organization founded in 1985 by
Jerry Genesio (USMC/56-62), Judy Genesio, Rev. Willard Bicket
(USA/WWII), Doug Rawlings (USA/Vietnam) and Ken Perkins (USN/Korea)
who were disturbed by the militancy of the United States and its
violent intervention in the affairs of other nations. It is
structured around a national office in Saint Louis, MO and comprised
of members across the country organized in chapters or as at-large
members. There is an annual convention in August for members from
across the nation. Members receive periodic VFP publications.
The organization includes men and women veterans from World War
II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, other conflicts and peactime
veterans. 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.
Veterans For Peace is an official Non-Governmental Organization
(NGO) represented at the UN.
Whether or not you wish to participate in chapter activities,
please consider becoming a Veteran For Peace member. As an
organization, we are what our members make us. You can be part of
that effort. Help us put an end to war.
