IVOE family, if you haven't seen YOUR memorial wall, you need to. If you're part of a Legion, VFW, Moose Club etc. You need to look into having this memorial come to your town.
If you have questions, shoot me a message and I can answer them for you.

We have an idea for what to call the 2027 Tour but we cannot release it until we get some more dates in the books. It may be pretty epic but that depends on each and every one of you. Sponsorship packages will be released soon so if you want on the list to receive them, let us know as soon as possible.

Locking Shields. That is what we do in the Veterans community. Working together to achieve one goal. Help our veterans, their families and friends through the hard, dark times.
My wife and I went to the Lake of the Ozarks to work with Romans Warrior Foundation, GWOT Wall of Remembrance and LakeSide Warriors, the LOZ areas veteran organization.

Together, we were able to start the healing process for some of our GWOT veterans.

As non-profit, veterans organizations, we must work together, not compete against each other to achieve our common goal.

What is our goal you ask? Bottom line, save lives.

We don't mean just the lives of our veterans, but also their families and friends. Imagine the devastation a spouse must go through when they have to tell their children, your dad or mom won't be coming home, ever.

As Brian Romans said, "I'd rather have a conversation with you at 2:00 am, than hear about you from someone else. "

To accomplish this goal it takes money. We don't receive any money from the government we do it with donations. I was shocked, humbled, and slightly embarrassed, this weekend when Brian and Shannon Romans, Romans Warrior Foundation pulled us up on stage and presented a large check to IVOE to continue our mission.

THIS IS LOCKING SHIELDS FOR A COMMON GOAL.

Thank you Romans Warrior Foundation and your family, words can not say enough for what you do and sacrifice, to continue YOUR mission with the GWOT Wall of Remembrance. IVOE will always be here for you!

I've had the pleasure of helping out with the GWOT-Wall of Remembrance in Lake of the Ozarks this weekend. We've met a lot of veterans and hope this will begin the healing for some. The GWOT -Wall of Remembrance will be back September 25-27. For all our LOTO friends and family. If you didnt get a chance to stop out at the Hy-Vee this weekend, try to come out in a couple of weeks. They will be here for the Jeep Invasion on the strip this time!
