VFP National Projects
At times projects initiated by members or chapters take on a larger scope and those involved ask to be recognized as national VFP Board projects. Currently there are five National Board Projects. Golden Rule Boat ProjectThe mission of the Golden Rule Project of Veterans for Peace (VFP) is to repair, restore and renovate the famous sailing ketch, the Golden Rule. This VFP committee will again sail this boat on the West Coast. This boat deserves to sail the seas again in opposition to militarism and the use of nuclear weapons. Iraq Water ProjectIraq Water Project was conceived in 1999 to address and challenge the intolerable sanctions regime whose purpose---not very carefully hidden---was to make life so miserable for Iraqis that they would overthrow Saddam Hussein and place in power a government compliant with US interests. This system of sanctions stayed in place some 13 years, and very helpfully wrecked Iraq’s economic and social structure. The water system collapsed with everything else. Korea Peace CampaignThe Korea Peace Campaign is a grassroots American peoples’ campaign to bring the Korean War to a final end through promotion of genuine peace, reconciliation and friendship between American and Korean people. Veterans Peace TeamsVeterans Peace Teams to be made available as we can, to those Occupy sites where the local general assemblies feel our participation would be helpful. We propose that these nonviolent Veterans Peace Teams act as a buffer between Occupy protesters and police violence and ask any and all military/law enforcement veterans to join us in this endeavor. Vietnam Agent Orange Relief & Responsibility CampaignThe Vietnam Agent Orange Relief and Responsibility Campaign is an initiative of U.S. veterans, Vietnamese Americans and all concerned about peace and justice. We insist our government honor its moral and legal responsibility to compensate the Vietnamese victims and all victims, of Agent Orange. War Crimes TimesThe War Crimes Times provides information to the general public, to law-makers, and to our justice-seeking allies on war crimes, war criminals, and on the true costs of war. While we recognize that United States has long relied on unlawful military force to further its foreign policy goals, we are particularly concerned with the blatant and egregious violations of international law committed by the United States beginning with the Administration of George W. Bush and now continued and expanded under President Obama.
