The Iowa National Guard unveiled its new Hall of Honor at Joint Force Headquarters in Johnston, Iowa, Nov. 9, 2026. The permanent exhibit honors 22 Iowa National Guard Soldiers who lost their lives in service to the nation since Sept. 11, 2001. Featuring portraits, personal stories and QR codes linking to video tributes from loved ones, the Hall of Honor preserves the legacies of the fallen while recognizing the sacrifices of their Gold Star families. The exhibit serves as a lasting reminder of the cost of service and ensures future generations remember the Soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. (U.S. Army National Guard video by 1st Sgt.
