STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
We, as military veterans, do hereby affirm our greater responsibility to serve the cause of world peace. To this end we will work, with others both nationally and internationally
To increase public awareness of the causes and costs of war
To restrain our governments from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations
To resist racism and repression in our home communities
To oppose the militarization of law enforcement
To end the arms race and to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons
To seek justice for veterans and victims of war
To abolish war as an instrument of national policy
To promote a sustainable and peaceful world
To achieve these goals, members of Veterans For Peace pledge to use non-violent means and to maintain an organization that is both democratic and open with the understanding that all members are trusted to act in the best interests of the group for the larger purpose of world peace. (Amended Dec 2024)
ABOUT OUR CHAPTER
"Dear Editor and Most Honorable Citizens Dancing on the Wheel of Destiny here in our gorgeous Cosmic Hamlet by the Sea …the higher round I am reaching for is love and compassion for all life on this planet…” These are some of the words our beloved Brother Asaiah wrote in his many letters to the editor during his time with us.
It is my joyous and distinct honor to announce the birth of the Brother Asaiah Chapter 187 of Veterans For Peace in Homer on April 18, 2026.
Our founding Veteran members represent the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marines. Our valuable, cherished Associate members, consist of Christians, Buddhists, Jews, and Muslims . We welcome all faiths and ethnicities who believe in our mission of promoting Peace and social justice.
Our only requirement is to value Peace, Love, and Understanding just like Brother Asaiah did. He encouraged us to love one another with no limitations whatsoever , to renounce war in honoring each and every soul who walks alongside us in this human/spiritual journey. He believed that people could learn to understand themselves and each other, and if they took the time to understand, war would not be necessary.
In his last letter to us, he says, “Dear Editor, and Beautiful Citizens dancing on the Karmic Wheel of Destiny…. Please be kind to one another. Love one another. Be thankful, so thankful and have compassion for all things. See you later and have a good trip! Aum Mani Padme Hum.” (mantra of love, compassion, kindness, and wisdom)
