CAIC and Iowa's Honor Flight
UPDATE!! Lend a Hand at This Week's Honor Flights The Capital Area Iowa Club's on-going effort to honor Iowa's Greatest Generation needs your help! Our goal is to have representatives of the Iowa community in DC at the World War II Memorial to greet and extend our thanks for each of the Honor Flights of WWII veterans in the coming months. To do that, we need volunteers to serve as "official points of contact" who will coordinate with the Honor Flights directly and organize local volunteers. Others are asked to set aside some time to come to the WWII Memorial and help greet the veterans.
If you're interested in welcoming our veterans, arrive at the WWII
Memorial by 11:30 am. Buses carrying the veterans park on the
Pacific side of the Memorial by the Visitor's Center. Greeters are
encouraged to wear an Iowa t-shirt or hat. Contact Clare Kelly for
more information.
