Military veterans join peace group

JUNEAU (AP) A group of U.S. military veterans who live in Juneau is seeking a formal affiliation with a national peace organization.

A Juneau chapter of Veterans For Peace would help local veterans carry the banner for peace more effectively, said Tim Miles, the group's organizer. Veterans For Peace is based in St. Louis, Mo.

Veterans For Peace is a nonprofit educational and humanitarian organization founded in 1985 by ex-service members, according to the group's Web site.
