One of my favorite Hawkeye memories is seeing the iconic Herky statues welcoming visitors at the airport, a symbol of Iowa pride and spirit. As a native Iowan from a long line of multi-generational farmers, I treasure these moments as a reflection of the state’s rich heritage and hospitality. It’s a reminder of home that greets travelers and bids them farewell, creating a lasting impression of warmth and community.
