Holy buckets! We had a great turn out for our Back to School Touch A Truck event last night. We are so thankful to everyone who came and hopefully you all had a good time! We would like to thank everyone who brought trucks, tractors, and the emergency response vehicles. We couldn’t have done this without all of you! Thank you to Stuart, Larry, Jeff, and Kendall for grilling- the burgers were delicious. Thank you to Tama PD, Tama Fire, Toledo Fire & Rescue, Meskwaki PD, Tama County Public Health, and MICA for coming down to support this event. Thank you to our volunteers and paid staff who helped set up, served food, and stayed for the event. Special shout out and Thank You to Kris with the Tama Library for helping to organize this. We, as a community are so blessed to have community partners who all work together and show up for our community.

September 11, 2001 is a day we will never forget.

Twenty-five years later, we still remember those who lost their lives, those who ran toward danger, and the first responders who gave everything in service to others.

But honoring first responders shouldn’t be limited to one day in history.

Every day, right here in our own communities, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, law enforcement officers, 911 dispatchers, and emergency management personnel answer the call. Some are career professionals. Many are volunteers. All have given their time, energy, and often made sacrifices most of us never see.

On Friday, September 11, the Tama American Legion would like to say thank you.

All active, retired, and volunteer first responders are invited to enjoy a FREE Fish Fry meal from 5:00–7:00 PM.

On this 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember the sacrifice of that day — and we honor the men and women who have continued to serve our communities every day in the years since.

You serve our community. Let us serve you.
