Husband to Heather, father of 4, grandfather to 8. Grateful to serve as Commandant of Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA). Views are my own.
Nice to win 2 of 3 games from against @Dodgers at Fenway Park. Got me thinking about Mookie Betts & his future @MLB Hall of Fame induction. Hard to imagine him not going in with Boston @RedSox, even tho he’s won 2 World Series with LA. #LetsGoRedSox youtu.be/F26204TY8eE?si…
Grateful to Governor Terry Branstad, former U.S.Ambassador to China, for visiting Iowa Veterans Home and sharing message with Veterans, their spouses and our staff. #Grateful #IowaVeterans


Excellent reflection on Company H 168th Infantry Regiment 42nd Infantry Div [@42ndInfantryDiv] (now 34th ID) [@TheRedBulls]) welcome home event in Oskaloosa, Iowa. What an outstanding piece of Iowa National Guard [@IowaNatGuard] heritage! #IowaVeterans oskynews.org/oskaloosa-hist…
Thanks to Rotary Club of West Des Moines for opportunity to speak today on behalf of Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs. Great group of Rotarians & friends present, including Darla Hunzelman, Kenn Yu, Andrea Barutta, & Joe Willis. #IowaVeterans #ServiceAboveSelf

Just wanted to take a minute to wish Rachel Robinson a happy birthday. She turned 103 years old today. Her part in his story is usually not mentioned enough. What Jackie went through, Rachel was by his side going through it as well.
Iowa Veterans Home Resident Treatment Worker (RTW) KATERYNA RUDENKO has come a long way – from Kherson Oblast, Ukraine, to Marshalltown, Iowa USA. Grateful to Iowa Valley Continuing Education for outstanding CNA program & for Kasia’s great work and service. #IowaVeterans

Happy Birthday to HEATHER JACOBUS. I’ve been with Heather since her 17th birthday, so that’s 40 birthdays we’ve been together. 57 looks good on her! Nice to celebrate with our family. ⬆️❤️💯⭐️

The Hank Aaron tribute they just had at the #MLBAllStarGame is one of the greatest sports tributes I’ve ever seen. Well done @MLB

Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-3, 1863, epitomizes heroism & sacrifice on both sides. TY2 Maynard Edwards 32° KCCH for sharing story of Bro MGen Winfield Hancock (#190 PA) care for & Bro BGen Lewis Armistead (Lodge #22 VA) on battlefield.🫡🇺🇸#IowaVeterans youtu.be/8Jp06mICU0o?si…



Today in 1985, it felt like the entire world stopped for Live Aid. And with dozens of music legends filling the bill in both the U.S. and U.K., Freddie fucking Mercury went out there and stole the show.
