1968 Vietnam War Anti-War Telegram Veteran for Peace Charles Fischer Tokyo Japan

This powerful and authentic piece of Vietnam War-era historical ephemera is a letter telegram dated January 17, 1968, sent from Chicago, Illinois to Tokyo, Japan, addressed to “Lt. Antiatom” — a clear reference to Japanese anti-nuclear and peace activists of the time. Sent by Veterans for Peace Commander Charles Fischer, this vintage telegram expresses support for American servicemen and calls for an end to U.S. military aggression in Vietnam. It demands the safe return of American troops and denounces the Johnson Administration’s war policies. The message urges international solidarity and the distribution of “Veterans Stars and Stripes for Peace,” likely a peace-focused publication. 🔹 Historical Significance: Dated just before the Tet Offensive (Jan 30, 1968) Evidence of transnational anti-war activism Highlights voices of U.S. veterans against the war Includes rare Shimbashi, Tokyo postal stamp An exceptional example of Cold War peace movement correspondence 🔹 Item Details: Condition: Very good vintage condition with minimal wear and some paper toning Size: Standard telegram format (approx. 7.875" x 8.5") Markings: Includes official stamps, routing codes, and message formatting Language: English (with Japanese characters on postal mark) 🔹 Perfect for: Collectors of Vietnam War memorabilia Researchers of anti-war and peace movements Historians focused on 1960s activism and Cold War ephemera Fans of vintage telecommunication artifacts Free shipping.
