September dawns with hope for a new school year
A long prose piece blends a September message to a child with veteran statistics for Iowa. It urges gentle guidance as a child steps into school life, then shifts to a county veteran breakdown and national figures, noting Iowa’s veteran counts by county, eras served, and GI Bill eligibility. A wedding notice for Rosemary DeMoss and Tony Petersen concludes.
