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.
