Clark honored as Hawkeye Distinguished Veteran

Submitted by agreve on Wed, 11/12/2025 - 08:25

Greg Clark, who lives near Guttenberg, is one of five recipients for the 2025 Hawkeye Distinguished Veterans Award. (Photo submitted)

Fifty-five years ago, on what seemed like an ordinary day, Greg Clark and his military partner finished their assignment early. They could report back to their unit—or slip away to the base library. The choice was easy. As the two rummaged through the book stacks, Clark’s eyes landed on a book titled Psychology. The moment, quiet and unexpected, would go on to shape hundreds of lives—starting with Clark’s.
