George Mizo
George Mizo, a prominent longtime VFP member and founder of the Friendship Village in Germany and Vietnam passed away during the week of April 8, 2002. VFP mourns the loss of a tireless worker for peace.
"The veterans who have participated in seeing the true horrors of war have a particularly credible voice in speaking out against war. I think it is important also for veterans not just to demonstrate and speak out against war, but to set examples of the kind of things that we can do. And the Village of Friendship Project is one historic example. There are veterans and caring citizens from six countries at this point, who were all former enemies, now working together."
George Mizo, US Vietnam War Veteran (1945-2002)
