Iowa Veterans Cemetery
34024 Veterans Memorial Dr., Adel, IA 50003 The Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA) began fundraising for the cemetery on Veterans Day 2004 with the sale of Bronze and Silver Iowa Veteran Commemorative Medals. In 2005, Iowa’s legislature gave IDVA the authority to “establish and operate” a state veterans cemetery. Early the following year, two generous donors contributed land parcels totaling 100 acres for that purpose. On this land, the Iowa Veterans Cemetery is constructed. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Veterans Day 2006. Construction began in late July 2007. The cemetery was dedicated on July 3, 2008. |
