Those smiles say it all. **Welcome home to Bill Blocker and his daughter Billie**, who traveled to Washington, D.C., today aboard **Eastern Iowa Honor Flight #61!**

Bill, a Vietnam War veteran, was among 88 veterans who made the journey to visit the memorials honoring their service and sacrifice.

We hope you both had an unforgettable day filled with memories, friendship, and the recognition our veterans so richly deserve.

**Welcome home, Bill, and thank you for your service!**

**To all our veterans: Have you signed up for an Honor Flight?**

The Eastern Iowa Honor Flight provides veterans with an opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials dedicated to their service. It's a day of remembrance, camaraderie, and recognition, shared with fellow veterans who understand what it means to have served.

**The trip is provided at no cost to the veteran.**

If you're a veteran who hasn't taken an Honor Flight, we encourage you to apply. Don't assume you're too young, that your service doesn't qualify, or that the trip is meant for someone else. Veterans from all branches of the military are encouraged to learn more about eligibility and apply.

And if you have a veteran in your family, encourage them to sign up! Sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement from someone they love.

For more information or to apply, visit www.eihonorflight.org or contact **Charlie Betz at the Tama American Legion**.

**You've served your country. Now let your country say thank you.**

Ace of Base had it right back in 1993. Sometimes all you need is a sign. And ours is telling you exactly where to find supper tomorrow night!

Friday Night Fish Fry at the Tama American Legion

October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so we're adding a little pink to our Friday night!

Wear your pink and join us as we show support for those fighting breast cancer, celebrate the survivors, and remember those we've lost.

Bring your appetite, your family, and your friends. We'll take care of supper!

Join us this Friday night at the Tama American Legion Fish Fry and help us send Bill Blocker off with a little extra support from home.

Bill will be traveling on the Eastern Iowa Honor Flight on Tuesday, October 13, and we’ll have cards available during the Fish Fry for everyone to sign. Stop by, enjoy supper, and leave Bill a short message, thank-you, or well wishes.

The cards will be given to Bill to read during his Honor Flight — a simple way for our community to let him know how much his service is appreciated.

Friday Night Fish Fry
Tama American Legion
5:00–7:00 PM

Come hungry, sign a card, and help us thank Bill for his service.

What a welcome home for our Eastern Iowa Honor Flight veterans tonight!

After a full day in Washington, D.C., visiting the memorials built in their honor, our veterans returned home to a packed airport filled with family, friends, fellow veterans, and supporters waving flags and cheering them on.

Welcome home, veterans. Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and everything you have given our country. You earned every cheer.
