Q: I’ve noticed that a lot of the people in your 20 Under 40 series appear to have red hair. Why is that? I don’t believe my device is shifting the color as other pics look correct. Just wondering if there is a preponderance of redheads in the Cedar Valley.

A: Maybe you are looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. It appears that in this year’s 20 Under 40 cohort there are a few women with red undertones in their hair. According to worldpopulationreview.com, about 4% of U.S. residents have red hair. However, U.S. News & World Report says that Iowa has the 10th largest population of Irish descendents at nearly 13% – a group of people who are often associated with red hair. Perhaps it’s the luck of the Irish.
Q: Which is the oldest branch of the military service?
A: The U.S. Army, which celebrated its 250th birthday last year. It was formally founded by the Second Continental Congress in June 1775, soon followed by the U.S. Navy and then the Marines. The forerunners of the modern Coast Guard date to 1789 and 1790. The U.S. Air Force didn’t come into being until the 20th century.
