American Legion Post 46 Riders had a new granite slab installed and added a flower vase and plaque. Judge, 19, of Marshalltown along with Charles McMahon, Jr., 21, of Woburn, Mass. died just hours before the beginning of the evacuation of Saigon, which ended April 30, 1975.

The four-day long festivities (Aug. 9-12) celebrated the people of the Meskwaki Settlement. The powwow, which first began as a religious celebration all those years ago, has evolved into a time to socialize, honor friendship and introduce non-Meskwaki natives to the culture. Here participants perform the Intertribal Dance.
