🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸

Today, we honor the Stars and Stripes — a symbol of the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering spirit of those who have defended our nation throughout history.

Our flag represents more than just the 50 stars and 13 stripes. It stands for freedom, unity, and the countless men and women who answered the call to serve, protecting the liberties we often take for granted.

As you see Old Glory waving proudly today, take a moment to remember the veterans, active-duty service members, and military families whose dedication has helped preserve the ideals our flag represents.

From all of us at the Welcome Home Soldier Monument, thank you to every American who has worn the uniform. Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

🇺🇸 May we always stand proud beneath the flag of the free because of the brave.

Welcome Home, Soldier. 🇺🇸

Today we remember the brave men who stormed the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944, during the historic D-Day. More than 156,000 Allied troops landed in France in one of the largest military operations in history, beginning the liberation of Western Europe from N**i occupation.

As we honor the courage, sacrifice, and determination of those who fought on D-Day, we also recognize the service and commitment of our veterans and active-duty military members today.

Welcome home, soldier. Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your dedication to protecting our freedoms. We remember the heroes of D-Day, and we honor all who have worn the uniform.

Before Memorial Day, we had the privilege of welcoming nearly 100 students and veterans from the Grinnell area to the Welcome Home Soldier Monument. Watching these young people connect with the men and women who served, hearing their stories, and understanding the real impact of sacrifice—this is education that can't happen in a classroom. Thank you to Michele Barker, Todd Crites, Jaysea Miller and everyone at Grinnell High School for organizing this incredible intergenerational experience, and heartfelt thanks to our veterans for sharing your time and wisdom. 🇺🇸

"Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a fantastic learning experience! Our participating veterans were especially appreciative of the event. Everyone involved walked away with something positive, and that was only possible because of the generosity, planning, and support of so many people. The day became so much more than I ever imagined when the idea first came to me on Veterans Day.

Whenever you take students somewhere new, you never quite know what their response will be. Hearing older students say they wished they had the same opportunity, and hearing others ask if this could become an annual experience, is proof of the positive impact the trip had on the students who attended."

Please come and join us at Oakview Monday! Share to inform others!!!

🇺🇸Due to ongoing construction on Highway 34, this year’s Memorial Day ceremony will not be held at the Welcome Home Soldier Monument. Instead, the service will take place at Oakview Cemetery, located at 602 2nd Ave W, Albia, IA.
The ceremony will begin at 11:00 AM on Monday, May 25th, and we encourage everyone in the community to attend this important gathering as we come together to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
While the official service will be held at Oakview Cemetery this year, we also warmly encourage residents and visitors to take time—either before or after Memorial Day—to visit the Welcome Home Soldier Monument. The monument remains open and accessible to the public. Please follow posted signage and directions around the road closure when traveling to the site.
The monument continues to serve as a powerful and lasting tribute to our nation’s heroes, offering a place for reflection, gratitude, and remembrance throughout the year.
Whether you attend the ceremony, visit the monument, or both, your presence helps keep the spirit of Memorial Day alive in our community as we honor and remember together.
