We really enjoyed our time... here at the National Holstein Convention with bringing in over a thousand

members to enjoy the Holstein cattle and all of the events we had here in Dubuque. I cannot tell you how impressed I was with the convention center. The hospitality was just fantastic. I live in Vermont and I have been through Dubuque a number of times in my life but I had no idea that this gem was here. We get in a lot of different states and cities for meetings and conventions and this was as good as it gets. The view of the Mississippi River cannot be topped and again the hospitality was great, the hotel was great, everything was convenient and everything you needed was right there. I say if you are looking for a great place for a meeting, convention or just a vacation, you can’t beat Dubuque."

The city of Dubuque...immediately came to mind when I was asked to host a conference in Iowa for my fellow state park directors from all 50 states and a few people from Canada. The conference was held in September 2013 and it could not have been any better. Dubuque has done so much to beautify the city over the last 15+ years. Citizens and visitors can be very proud of the riverfront area and all the wonderfully restored buildings in the downtown. More than 200 people from all across the nation attended the conference and many of them personally told me that they will return some time in the future with their family. Thank you Dubuque for helping make the 2013 National Association of State Park Directors Conference a huge success!”

No matter what your group is looking for, fun and excitement await you at every corner in Dubuque.

“Battle Bows” at Marshall Park3800 Arboretum Drive | Dubuque, IA 52001 This is the title of a beautiful memorial that is located at Marshall Park in Dubuque, IA. It is a Tri-State tribute to all who have served in the Armed Forces. It is also a tribute to the people of Dubuque who have made the structure possible. Within the reflecting arched bow, the battle ribbons that are worn on tunics or other clothing by armed services personnel appears. These are presented in porcelain enamel on the inside surfaces of the three outside arches.Learn more at www.dubuquearboretum.net

Chaplain Schmitt Memorial1801 Admiral Sheehy Drive | Dubuque, IA 52001 Father Aloysius Schmitt of Dubuque, IA, served as chaplain to the USS Oklahoma. The first chaplain to die in World War II, Father Schmitt perished while heroically attempting to save others following the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. His death occurred on the sixth anniversary of his ordination. Father Schmitt was honored in 1968 when a harbor in Dubuque was named in his honor and a monument shaped like a ship’s wheel sinking beneath the waves was placed on the riverbank in 1973.

Tri-State Vietnam Veterans Memorial Dedicated on July 9, 1995, the monument bears the names of 63 individuals from Tri-State counties who gave their lives in service to their country in Vietnam. The three stones that are in the shape of Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin face the state they represent.

University of Dubuque’s Anchor 2000 University Ave | Dubuque, IA 52001563.589.3000 Dubuque is home to an anchor from the USS Texas. It is a Danforth anchor – 11 feet tall and spanning 10 feet. The anchor was a gift to the University of Dubuque from alumni who participated in the U.S. Navy’s V-12 program during World War II. The anchor commemorates the Navy’s V-12 program which provided officer training while students finished their educations.

University of Dubuque’s Vietnam War Memorial2000 University Ave | Dubuque, IA 52001563.589.3000 At the University of Dubuque’s 1994 Homecoming, an alumni-funded memorial honoring four classmates was dedicated. The black granite monument commemorates the giving of their lives during the Vietnam War.

Veterans Freedom Center 2245 Kerper Blvd | Dubuque, IA 52001563.845.0034 This center exists to meet the needs of all military active duty, reserve and Honorably Discharged veterans in the past and present. They offer a place to interact with fellow veterans, network together and provide the camaraderie that all have shared while proudly serving their country. The “Operation We Care” program supports those veterans and/or veterans' families who have special needs whereby all other means of assistance is not available or has been exhausted.

Veterans Memorial Plaza 1801 Admiral Sheehy Drive | Dubuque, IA 52001Located on Chaplain Schmitt Island, this memorial gives visitors a feeling of tranquility, honor and respect for our nation’s veterans. It includes a curved wall to the back dedicated to the branches of service, with their flags flying, bracketing an American flag with a POW/MIA banner below it. In the center, there is a 6 ton granite globe, 5 feet in diameter. The array sits on a field of bricks, each sold to raise money for this project. Learn more at www.vetsmemorialplaza.org
