Knapper Post #6174 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Eldridge who honor all Scott County veterans who have served from the Civil War to the present day.

Major General David Wilson, Commanding General, U. S. Army Sustainment Command, will speak.

An honor guard will present the U. S. flag, a veteran will lead the Pledge of Allegiance, a roll call of Scott County veterans will be read and there will be patriotic songs and speeches.
