From D.C. to Iowa: Local veterans share wreath’s role in emotional trip

Submitted by admin on Tue, 09/28/2021 - 12:54

People who passed by the Clayton County Courthouse from Sept. 17 to 19 saw a unique wreath laid at the veterans memorial. It was placed by members of the Northeast Iowa Vietnam Veterans along with other local veterans, some of whom recently visited Washington, D.C., where the same wreath was laid at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.

According to Mike Schmelzer (right), wreaths can be laid every half hour at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider, during the changing of the guard. “When your group is there, they will schedule yours in so they can lay it. You just can’t walk up and lay a wreath,” he explained. “I don’t know how we were lucky enough to get it back, but we brought it back on our bus to Iowa and then had it freshened up here in Elkader.”

Standing with the wreath are local Vietnam veterans Mike Schmelzer, Garnavillo; Ed Blume, Elkader; and Dennis Mason, Marquette. “It’s not just about the veterans on the trip—it’s for all the veterans who sacrificed their lives in war. That’s why it meant a lot to bring it back to Iowa,” shared Schmelzer.
