What motivated you (or your organization) to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?

My father was a career Air Force officer who went to Viet Nam in 1967. When he returned in 1968, I had joined the anti-war movement. A passion for justice and a commitment to nonviolent ways of achieving justice grew out of that early experience.
