Members of the Tama American Legion were proud to help send incoming South Tama County High School seniors Lincoln Ealy and David King (not pictured) off to the American Legion of Iowa Boys State at Camp Dodge.

Boys State is a great opportunity for these young men to learn more about leadership, citizenship, government, and service alongside students from across Iowa.

Also pictured with us is STC High School Social Studies teacher Craig Harrison, who will be serving as a camp counselor at Boys State this week.

Please join us in wishing Lincoln, David, and Craig a great week at camp. We’re proud to have the Tama American Legion Family and South Tama County represented.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the ride and helped make the day a meaningful tribute to Iowa’s veterans.
