About this episode

Eric Dolash discusses the Veteran Flagpole Initiative and their plans for RAGBRAI.

Eric Dolash from the Veteran Flagpole Initiative is on the podcast to talk about his Iowa based nonprofit. They have big plans this year! Eric and his crew will be riding RAGBRAI again and plan to install flagpoles in the yards of veterans directly along the route. The nonprofit’s mission is simple, fund and install flagpoles in veteran’s yards across Iowa at no cost to the veteran. To date they have installed almost 200 flagpoles! https://www.veteranflagpoles.org/ Just Go Bike: ragbrai.com/justgobike/ Watch, or listen on our Just Go Bike YouTube channel. www.youtube.com/@JustGoBikePodcast Have a topic for a future episode?
