Our lives are our "Credentials" for Peace

In talking to many about the U.S Department of Peace campaign throughout Massachusetts, it has occurred to me many times, that we need to remove the "credentials" misconception that many seem to have concerning their more active involvement in the U.S. Department of Peace campaign.
