Adding Veteran Names

Help us find a veteran

Attention all Veterans, Families, and Friends
The deadline for submission of names has passed for our initial stone engraving.
Please continue to submit names of all veterans who have lived in Winneshiek County at some point in their lives and are not already identified on our current veteran listing. As names come in, we will try to squeeze them in, but timing is everything as we go to press. All names that don't make it will be engraved next year and appear on the page "2024 Pending Veteran Engraving".
Thank you and God Bless the USA!

Veterans who are still living are harder to find, as privacy laws protect them. We can only find them if they volunteer their information.
