Veterans For Peace (VFP) is a national non-profit 501(c)(3) educational and humanitarian organization dedicated to the abolition of war. Santa Barbara Veterans for Peace, local chapter 54 was formed during Operation Desert Shield in 1990 to question the use of war as an instrument of foreign policy. Our chapter of Veterans for Peace initiated the Arlington West memorial to call attention to the human cost of the war in Iraq.
Monthly Meetings of VFP Santa Barbara Chapter 54 are held at 5 pm on the first Monday of every month at the Veterans Memorial Building, 112 West Cabrillo Boulevard, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.
