Armistice Day Parade 2012 in Portland, Maine
In recent years the American Legion has tried to kick us out of the parade because they did not like our peace message. They would demand that we only carry one banner with our name on it and nothing else. So the last two years we decided to do our own thing and have the parade have to walk past us.

Veterans Day Presentation 2006 by Doug Rawlings
“First of all let me thank the city of Portland on behalf of Veterans For Peace for their City Council’s commitment to making this year’s Veterans Day ceremonies inclusive of all veterans, regardless of their political positions on the war in Iraq.”
Veterans Day Presentation 2006 by Jack Bussell
“Maine Veterans For Peace remains committed to the withdrawal of our armed forces from Iraq now and to the full support of their needs when they return. We remain committed to the abolishment of all war. For it was in the reality of war that we found the meaning of peace.”
