Distribution is limited to 5,000 books, first-come, first-served, one per Iowa Korean War veteran or their family.
Books will be available starting on Veterans Day, Monday, November 11 at the Iowa Gold Star Military Museum, 7105 NW 70th Ave., Camp Dodge, Johnston, Iowa. Museum hours on Veterans Day are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. After Veterans Day, books can also be obtained from the Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs-contact them at 515-727-3440 to coordinate pick up.
