Join The Iron Compass for The Welcome Home Ride, a meaningful motorcycle ride created to raise awareness and support for veteran mental health.

This ride will begin at Big Barn Harley-Davidson in Des Moines, IA and travel together toward the Welcome Home Soldier Monument in Albia, IA, with a regroup stop in Pella, IA.

Every mile of this ride represents hope, connection, and the reminder that no veteran should have to face their struggles alone. Together, we ride to shine a light on the importance of support, healing, community, and purpose for those who have served.

Whether you ride, support, volunteer, or help spread the word, your presence matters.

All riders are welcome. All bikes are welcome.

You ride. We ride. No one rides alone.
