During National Crime Victim’s Rights Week, April 2005, a place of reflection was dedicated to honor crime victims and individuals who serve crime victims. The benches are located on the South side of the State Capital in Des Moines, Iowa, across from the Purple Heart Memorial. This place of reflection was generously funded by the Iowa Organization for Victim Assistance (IOVA), Hy-Vee, Inc. and John and Kay Egan.
IOVA has a project to make special planters for this site. For information about the planter project, please click on the link provided.
