What a great time today at Chris’ Go-Go in Cambridge. The owner, Melissa, was so generous to support a meat and cheese palooza event to benefit Wreaths Across America to purchase wreaths for our veterans. We raised $2300 thanks to all who played and donated prizes. We were also excited to welcome Department of Iowa Auxiliary President, Kim Dixon, and her husband Steve. Great night, great friends, great fun and great sponsorship to WAA, 2026!

The Ames Legion Riders, American Legion Department of Iowa Commander, City of Ames Mayor, Arnold Air Society ROTC of Iowa State University and members of our wonderful community came together for the Wreaths Across America ceremony and wreath laying yesterday in sub zero weathers and piles and piles of snow. Thank you all so much for braving the cold, just as our veterans do/have, so that we could Remember our fallen with Veterans Wreaths, Honor those serving, and Teach our youth the value of Freedom.
Our gratitude for this joint effort is beyond words and through the cold, the sun is shining brightly at the “Lest We Forget” monument in Ames, Iowa.

We also received a great donation from Ames Ford for our project to remember and honor our local veterans with Wreaths Across America! Thank you Denny Krogh for this donation from Ames Ford through their car show. Supporting our veterans and their families is our mission! 🇺🇸
