War protesters hit the street in Chippewa Falls Saturday to spread their message of peace.

It was all part of an event called "Mission Unaccomplished" which calls for an end to the war in Iraq.

Participants from around the area staged a peaceful protest by waving banners and holding signs at the intersection of Bridge and River Street in Chippewa Falls.

Organizers say many in the group are veterans or come from military families.

"This is our third year of doing Mission Unaccomplished so our planning meeting was in February, there's a group of us in Eau Claire and we've been standing on what we call peace corner for well over 18 months now," said Protest Organizaer Steve Wagener.

Wagener says the ultimate goal is to bring troops home peacefully, and he protesters will continue to meet at peace corner every Saturday until the war is over.
