Invading Iowa

Iowa Cornfields

The America Invades tour headed out of Nebraska and into the cornfields of Iowa on our way to Minnesota.  We stopped in Des Moines at Beaverdale Books (http://beaverdalebooks.com/) and met the charming proprietor Alice Meyer.  You will find signed copies of our work at her excellent store.

We stopped for a fantastic lunch at Good Sons restaurant and pub (http://goodsonsdsm.com/goodsonsdsm.com/Home.html) in Beaverdale.  They had a draft ginger beer which was refreshing and delicious.  A gentleman named Tennessee served us with great courtesy allowing us to display a poster for the book.

We stopped for diesel at a gas station in a small town in northern Iowa where a veteran of the "All-American" 82nd airborne division purchased a copy of the book.  Thanks for your service!  Across from the station was a memorial to Iowa servicemen which kind of sums up the message of America Invades (www.amzn.com/1940598427) really well...

Iowa Service Memorial

"THIS MEMORIAL IS NOT TO HONOR WAR. BUT TO SHOW THE PRICE OF PEACE LEST FUTURE GENERATIONS FORGET THE SACRIFICE MADE TO MAINTAIN OUR FREEDOM."

The Iowa National Guard is partnered with Kosovo.

Iowa remembers!

We look forward to paying more tribute to the servicemen of Iowa when we visit the USS Iowa (http://www.pacificbattleship.com/) in Long Beach California on 11/4.
