Musician Bret Michaels visited the Iowa Air National Guard’s 185th Air Refueling Wing prior to his performance in Sioux City over the Veterans Day weekend. The Sioux City, Iowa event is part of Michaels’ “Hometown Heroes” tour where he and his band are performing several back to back concerts in America’s heartland over the Veterans Day weekend.

Michaels said he chose Sioux City as one of five Veterans Day weekend stops as part of his Hometown Heroes tour because of the areas commitment to veterans and those still serving.

At each of his concerts Michaels has been inviting local heroes on stage in order to honor them during the show. Many of the people being honored on stage are veterans but the tour also selects first responders, teachers and “people who are making a difference in their communities,” Michaels said.

Michaels’ whirlwind “Hometown Heroes” tour began in Casper, Wyo. on November 6, with a show in Sioux City on Friday. Before the weekend is over the tour will make stops in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Independence, Mo. and culminate in Park City Kan. on Veterans Day November 11.
