Celebrate Military Appreciation Month
Help your students show gratitude to all who served with resources from Iowa PBS. Iowans have served in every war from the Civil War to the War in Afghanistan. The 6th Iowa Cavalry was part of the Union Army during the Civil War, just 15 years after Iowa became a state. The Iowa 50th Infantry Regiment served their country proudly during the Spanish American War, and Iowans stepped up to serve for three years in the Forgotten War, Korea.
