CALLING IOWA DESERT STORM VETERANS!
The dedication for the National Desert Shield Storm War Memorial in Washington DC is going to be on Saturday, October 24th.

A group of Desert Storm veterans is working with the Iowa VFW Foundation to plan a bus trip to take Desert Shield Desert Storm veterans to the dedication. We are building a list of who would be interested in taking part in this once in a lifetime trip.

Think of this - it's our nation's 250th birthday! It's the 35th anniversary since the end of Operation Desert Storm! The last National Memorial dedicated (with living veterans) was the World War II in 2004.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME!

Desert Shield Desert Storm Veterans! We are hoping to fill 2 50 passenger buses to attend this Dedication of YOUR MEMORIAL? This is intended for a veteran and a companion to attend.

Please email [email protected] to let us know of your interest.

Also, we will be working on fundraising to help offset the costs of this trip. If you are interested in helping please say so.

Thank you Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for your support!
