Firecracker Run/Walk

Honoring our Veterans

Proceeds from this year's event will go to Honor Flight of Dubuque

Honor Flight of Dubuque and the Tri-States is a non-profit organization created solely to honor veterans living in Northeast Iowa, Southwest Wisconsin, and Northwest Illinois for all their sacrifices. We transport our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect on their memorials.

Of all of the wars in recent memory, it was World War II that truly threatened our very existence as a nation and as a culturally diverse, free society. Now, with so many World War II, Korean, and Vietnam veterans dying each day, our time to express our thanks to these brave men and women is running out. Learn more about the Honor Flight Program at honorflight.org.
