WWII Veterans Visit the Nation's Capital  

I was able to meet with many Iowans from Sioux City who served in WWII as they visited the WWII Memorial in Washington today. Around 100 veterans came to the nation’s capital through an organization called Honor Flight which receives donations from surrounding communities and flies the heroes to Washington, D.C. free of charge. I’m glad these veterans were honored and hope that they enjoy their time in Washington as much as I enjoyed meeting with them. It was an honor to be around these selfless people who sacrificed so much for our country.
