OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb.— A religious group from Iowa will lead a peace rally at Offutt Air Force Base.

The Sisters of St. Francis from Dubuque, Iowa, say Sunday afternoon's demonstration is meant to commemorate both the 10th anniversary of the war in Afghanistan and St. Francis of Assisi.

The group says it expects about 100 protesters from across Iowa to travel to eastern Nebraska for the protest. It anticipates some demonstrators will be arrested for trespassing.

1. I may be wrong about this but...

I think one of the sisters of this group was thrown in jail in Georgia a few years ago while protesting at the war college down there. Sorry I can't remember specific details but I'm getting older and have done damage to some brain cells. And the memory has never been great anyway.

2. You're right, Fort Benning.
