Wednesday the 11th of November, Veterans For Peace welcomes everyone to join us in Monument Square at 9:30 or whenever it is best for you ….the parade starts at 10:00 and traditionally we stand in the square with VFP flags dressed in black and with NO POLITICAL signs, in silence. At 11:00 the bells of the church will ring 11 times and traditionally we go down on one knee ( if we can ) to remember why we have this day of PEACE. Join Veterans For Peace at any time between 1:00pm and 6:00pm on Armistice Day, November 11th at the Portland Media Center in Portland, Maine (516 Congress St). We will be celebrating the power of the arts in the world of politics. The center will be set up for visitors to wander through and enjoy the artistic endeavors of artists who use their amazing creative powers to work for a world of peace. The event is free and open to the public although donations to help fund Veterans For Peace projects will be much appreciated.
