Vietnam veterans plan Iowa Capitol march for center funding
A group of Eastern Iowa Vietnam veterans will gather January 28 at the Iowa Capitol grounds in Des Moines to push lawmakers for 170000 dollars annually to operate a Cedar Rapids veterans counseling center. They were denied a Vet Center due to population limits and cite 17000 veterans within 50 miles of Cedar Rapids. The action echoes broader calls for federal and state support as centers open in Des Moines and Moline, Illinois.

ICAN alleged police chief ousted agents in 1983 and faced ongoing restrictions. The case, filed last April, was settled out of court after an injunction barred enforcement of the peddlers and solicitors ordinance.
