Congressman Zach Nunn, who represents Iowa's 3rd Congressional District, posted a series of updates on social media highlighting his recent activities in support of veterans and rural communities in Iowa.

On August 11, 2025, Nunn shared news about a community event recognizing a wounded veteran. He wrote, "This morning, we joined the Military Warriors Support Foundation, Wells Fargo, and Lithia Nissan of Ames to surprise Purple Heart recipient Joshua Ewing with a new car. Joshua is a brave soldier, devoted father, and true fighter. We're grateful for his service to our nation."

Later that day, Nunn participated in an event honoring veterans at the state level. He stated on August 11, 2025: "Honored to join the Veterans Day Parade today at the Iowa State Fair, especially as we mark the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War Commemoration. Today we salute the courage, sacrifice, and service of all Iowa’s veterans and those who have worn the uniform."

On August 12, 2025, Nunn highlighted federal investment in rural infrastructure improvements across Iowa. He posted: "Big win for rural Iowa: @USDA is investing $152M to boost water quality, expand health care, upgrade energy systems and more in 20 counties. I'll keep fighting to make sure Iowa's farmers and families have the strong, reliable services they deserve."

Nunn has previously emphasized his commitment to supporting military families and improving services for Iowans living in rural areas. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) frequently invests in projects aimed at enhancing essential services such as water infrastructure and healthcare access in rural regions.
