Veterans welcomed home to Sioux City following Midwest Honor Flight trip
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Veterans who joined the most recent Midwest Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. found a crowd of Siouxlanders waiting for them when they landed in Sioux City Tuesday evening. The event was the culmination of what had been an emotional day for much of the group. For some of the veterans, the moment served as a 'welcome home' celebration that was long overdue. 'This is a lot different than the one I had the first time, when I came home from Vietnam,' said Keith Nicks, a Vietnam veteran from Remsen, Iowa. 'It was, oh! It was a beautiful day.' Others emphasize that they hope more veterans can also take part in the experience. 'If they get an opportunity to do this, every veteran needs to go on this trip,' said Doug Conrad, a Vietnam veteran from Sioux City. Sergeant Bluff hires first full-time fire chief The flight took off early Tuesday morning from the Sioux Gateway Airport, the first Midwest Honor Flight to depart from the Sioux City airport since 2010. Once they landed in D.C., the group was able to visit several of the war memorials in the nation's capital, including those built in honor of the wars in which they served themselves. The CEO of Midwest Honor Flight, Aaron Van Beek, said it's thanks to the community that these trips can take place. 'It was a great day,' he said. 'We are so thankful for so many supporters throughout the community area, here in the Siouxland area, who give their time, their efforts, their donations to make it possible for this flight today, for so many veterans to have the chance to see their memorials in Washington, D.C.' With the help of the community, Midwest Honor Flight raised nearly $200,000 to make Tuesday's flight happen.

'It was quite a crowd to see,' he said. 'We didn't know if there'd be 12 people or 1,200 people that showed up tonight, and Siouxland certainly showed up to make this welcome home a special event for our veterans on flight today.'

Iowa DNR looking for volunteers for second year of Iowa Bumble Bee Atlas
DES MOINES, Iowa (KCAU) — The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is looking for volunteers for a second year of the Iowa Bumble Bee Atlas. The program's goal is to get a better idea of where bumble bees live in Iowa and how many call the state home.

Then they must conduct at least two 45-minute surveys within that area between June 1 and September 30 of this year. Those surveys involve finding, capturing, and photographing as many bumblebees as possible within the time period. To sign up, volunteers must watch two training videos (found online here), create a Bumble Bee Watch account, adopt a survey grid cell, gather equipment and print off data sheets, and attend a field training session to get some experience in how to safely catch and handle the bees. A number of in-person field trainings will be held across the state from late June through the month of July. Registration is free, but pre-registration is required. You can find the full list of locations, dates and times here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
