Today is Veterans Day and a chance for people to thank and appreciate those who have served. Dave Stoufer who helps operate the Washington County Military Museum states why the day is important to him because he feels service men and women are the reason we have freedom as Americans.

Tonight a free-will donation dinner will be held for veterans and their families by the American Legion Post #29 and Washington County Military Museum. Mike Worley states the event is in remembrance and celebration, which honors soldiers. The dinner will be held at the Iowa National Guard Readiness Center in Washington at 6 p.m. tonight with music and a feature speaker from Midwest Military Outreach.
