S. invaded Afghanistan.
The group walked from the army building, 1500 St. Louis Ave, to Amazing Grace Bakery and Cafe in Canal Park where they sang songs.
Joel Kilgour with Northland Anti-War Coalition said people needed to take note since President Obama is again thinking of escalating U. S. troops in Afghanistan.
