News : Veterans Day at the Iowa State Fair Parade Entry Applications Available

Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA) has posted entry applications for the Aug. 11th Veterans Day at the Iowa State Fair Parade on the departmental website at dva.iowa.gov.

All veterans and supporters are invited to participate with an application.

This year's theme is the 50th Anniversary Commemoration of the Vietnam War, and Vietnam veterans will be at the heart of the parade. Those who choose can ride at the front of the parade, but all will be recognized as group 'Grand Marshals' instead of the usual one or two select individuals normally assigned that honor.
