In April 2008, ten WWII Veterans from Iowa accompanied a Missouri Honor Tour to Washington D.C. to see their Memorial.

The impact was so great, when they returned, they vowed to help more Iowa Veterans see their Memorial.

Thus, the S.E. Iowa WWII Veterans Honor Tour was born.

"Saluting our WWII Veterans From America’s Heartland"

The purpose of the "Honor Tour" is to recognize and HONOR the service of our veterans that have served their country in war. While at THEIR memorial, these veterans will be admired and thanked for THEIR service to this country and the world by many visitors at the meamorial.

People visiting the memorial from around the world crowd around these veterans to shake their hands and pat them on the back and say thank you. The kindness and thankfulness shown to these veterans will live in their memories for the rest of their lives.

Many WWII Veterans do not have the financial or physical ability to take themselves to Washington D.C. to see THEIR memorial, a memorial for which they have waited 59 years. The youngest WWII veteran is 80 years old.

Our goal is to take these deserving HEROS to see their memorial at no cost to them, but to do this we need your help. Time is of the essence and is not on our side. WWII veterans are dying at the rate of 850 per day. Through your generous contribution you can make this dream a reality for these most deserving HEROS
