Veterans for Peace

Courtyard Gallery is proud to share their space with the NC Chapter of Veterans for Peace. Veterans For Peace is a national organization founded in 1985. The organization includes men and women veterans of all eras and duty stations spanning the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), World War II, the Korean, Vietnam, Gulf and current Iraq wars as well as other conflicts. Their 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. Stop by the gallery to speak to one of their members for more information or visit their website at: http://vfpchapter099wnc.blogspot.com/
