🇺🇸 Veterans—We Want to Hear From You 🇺🇸
If you’ve served our country, Black Hawk County Veterans Affairs wants to hear from you.

We’re inviting local veterans to take a short survey to help us better understand your needs, improve our services, and ensure you’re getting the support you’ve earned.

It only takes a few minutes, and your feedback helps guide how we serve veterans across our community.

Thank you for your service—and for helping us serve you better.
