This is an interesting acknowledgement, and the kind that can only be made in a free society. I knew of a few instances during my career, but was never directly involved in one.
Did not know about this, bears more study -- The roots of the movement date back to the American Revolutionary War when British people protested against British war intervention in America, which led to the House of Commons voting against further war in America in 1783. This eventually led to the Peace of Paris.

I had a roommate in college that was the only person I ever met that I truly believed was a pacifist. When Roger got his draft notice, he joined the Navy as a conscientious objector, so they assigned him as a Navy Corpman. While a Navy Corpman
is technically a non-combatant, they neglected to inform him that one of the duty positions for Navy Corpman was the medic for Marine line units. He landed in Vietnam just prior to the Tet Offensive. I knew Roger for a couple of years before he ever talked about that part of his life.
