This year's event benefits the Folds of Honor Foundation, which raises money to help provide post-secondary education scholarships for children of fallen and wounded Iowa veterans. A tribute to the 81 Iowa service members who have fallen since 9/11 was also at the event. (Jim Slosiarek/The Gazette-KCRG)
