We, having dutifully served our nation, do hereby affirm our greater responsibility to serve the cause of world peace and justice. Americans will be secure at home only when there is peace and justice abroad. To this end, we will work, with others:
* Toward increasing public awareness of the costs of war,
* To restrain our government from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations,
* To end the arms race and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons,
* To abolish war as an instrument of international policy.
* To achieve these goals, members of Veterans For Peace pledge to use non-violent means and to maintain an organization that is democratic.
It is with this statement that VFP-Chapter 93 offers our first annual Peace Scholarship. It is our intent to award a Michigan resident, who will pursue studies in a Peace Studies program or other program that actively promotes the study of global conflict resolution or issues of peace and justice, a $500 Scholarship. It is our hope that the recipient will align their studies with the principles of the Veterans For Peace and propagate the message of peace well beyond their educational endeavors.
