Gainesville local Scott Camil was honored by the U.S. Peace Memorial Foundation in July for his antiwar organizing over the last half decade. The U.S. Peace Memorial Foundation honors Americans who stand for peace by publishing the U.S. Peace Registry (uspeacememorial.org/registry), awarding the U.S. Peace Prize, and fundraising for the U.S. Peace Memorial in Washington, DC.
They recognize thoughtful and courageous Americans and U.S. organizations that have taken a public stand against one or more U.S. wars or have devoted their time, energy, and other resources to finding peaceful solutions to international conflicts.
They celebrate these role models to inspire other Americans to speak out against war and to work for peace.
