This week, in advance of the November 11 Veterans Day holiday, Josh Shurley interviews Bay Area-based peace activist Paul Cox. Paul is a combat veteran of the US Marine Corps and the American War in Vietnam, and currently serves on the national board of directors of Veterans For Peace (a global organization of military veterans seeking to raise awareness of the true costs of war and dedicated to building peace). They discuss VFP's campaign to "Reclaim Armistice Day," as the original intent of the November 11 commemoration was a day of peace. Paul also provides insights and experiences from his recent delegation to Vietnam, and how all of this intersects with the ongoing peace movement in light of global conflagrations raging from Ukraine to Gaza and beyond.
