Originally posted by pichaser I have been in Dubuque since '81 but the memories are fresh .
We are building a lot of veterans' memorials in Iowa of late. Other than the traditional memorials outside the state capitol, this Dubuque memorial is the most impressive I have seen in Iowa. I was running short on camera card space, and I was here for a completely different purpose - to support my daughter's half-marathon exploit. There is a pillar with these stats for every war, plus "the war on terror." And there is a very large granite display with an etched mural. And the park benches of which you see one in the background.
I grew up in Dubuque. It is a scenic town.
