Our expanding network of over 150 chapters seeks to raise public awareness about the true and hidden costs of war while providing understanding and services to those who are victims of war. VFP is committed to dismantling the military-industrial complex through peaceful resistance and is the only veterans’ organization whose primary purpose is to Abolish War. A lofty goal in a world which now has endless war. But we Veterans see it as our Last Campaign.
