The ‘Wall of Vets’ have demonstrated that they are most certainly continuing that long and important legacy through their peace work
Brian Trautman
I'm a military veteran (U.S. Army), peace educator, and social/environmental activist. I'm currently an instructor of Peace and World Order Studies at Berkshire Community College in Pittsfield, MA. I serve on the board of the Peace and Justice Studies Association (PJSA), and I'm actively involved with a number of other peace and justice groups. These include Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies (HumanDHS), Veterans For Peace, Berkshire Citizens for Peace and Justice (BCP&J), U.S. Peace Memorial Foundation, Teachers Without Borders (eMentor-Peace Education program), New England Peace Studies Association (NEPSA) and The Sanctuary for Independent Media.
