Letter, 1973

Every human being
Their home
The World


Dear Everyone,


We, of the movement to stop the War in Vietnam, having achieved our purpose, declare to mankind that we are not stopping the movement.  Our main goal is not to stop the Vietnam War but to bring peace to the world.  We recognize that the Vietnam War is the longest war in American history, and bringing it to a close is a great achievement.  We must emphasize, though, that this is not the only troublespot in the world.  As long as there are American soldiers in foreign countries, we must keep protesting American involvement.  Vietnam is a drop in the proverbial bucket of peace.  In a future time in our government, we will have a president, who will send soldiers to another point in the world to fight a war.


The Anderson College chapters of the National Peace Action Coalition, the Individuals Against the Crime of Silence, and the United Society will continue to fight for peace, because just because the war in Vietnam is over, doesn't mean that peace has automatically come.  We will also fight to bring domestic freedom.  Our goals now include the abolishment of poverty, hunger, disease, pollution, and all war.  As a song goes, "Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me."


PEACE!


Walter Durst--president of
the Anderson College chapters of
the National Peace Action Coalition
the Individuals Against the Crime of Silence
and
the founder of the United Society.
