In 1971, a courageous group of veterans exposed the criminal nature of the Vietnam War in an event called Winter Soldier. Once again, we will demand that the voices of veterans are heard.

Once again, we are fighting for the soul of our country. We will demonstrate our patriotism by speaking out with honor and integrity instead of blindly following failed policy. Winter Soldier is a difficult but essential service to our country.

Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan will feature testimony from U.S. veterans who served in those occupations, giving an accurate account of what is really happening day in and day out, on the ground.

The four-day event will bring together veterans from across the country to testify about their experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan

A Peace of History Turns 50


A familiar icon has reached a milestone. The peace symbol turns 50 today.Before it was a hippie fashion accessory, before it became the emblem of the Vietnam era anti-war movement, the peace symbol stood for nuclear disarmament.0221 07

The British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament details the origins of its logo.


Designed by British artist and conscientious objector Gerald Holtom for what then was the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War, the bisected circle with two downward spokes combined the semaphores for the letters ?N? - two flags held down at a 45 degree angle - and ?D,? one up, one down.

The symbol was unveiled Feb. 21, 1958, according to the New York Public Radio show ?On the Media,? and made its public debut at a 1958 Easter weekend anti-nuclear march, according to CND.


It later migrated to the U.S., where it was adopted by student pacifists and later by the anti-Vietnam War movement.
