Veterans commission drops veteran preference for Cedar Rapids facility director
Cedar Rapids Veterans Memorial Commission hired Paul Pestel, a civilian from Ryan Companies, as facility director starting June 25, marking the first time in at least 25 years a nonveteran leads the Veterans Memorial Building complex. Critics argue a veteran should lead given the building's mission and ties to veterans groups.
