    Their motto is 'Never Again'.

    Dear Veterans for Peace

    Since 2005, I have been persistently engaged in anti-war activity. I have given my all and it has taken its toll.

    When I summon the energy for one more meeting, one more speech or one more action, I no longer have the capacity to absorb the negative psychological by-products.

    Difficult as it is, the time has come for me to accept that everyone has a limit and I passed mine some time ago.

    At the conclusion of this year’s Annual Gathering, I will retire from Veterans for Peace.

    There are some very moving responses under the link. Sadly some American by the name of Garry H is the exception.
