White Sulphur Springs celebrates 30 years since rededication

White Sulphur Springs Cemetery commemorated the 30th anniversary of its rededication on Oct. 11. In 1996, the Patrick Cleburne Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans along with the David O. Dodd United Daughters of the Confederacy chapter began working together toward reclaiming the historic cemetery from long neglect and the ravages of time. On Oct. 11, 1912, the first marble monument was dedicated at Camp White Sulphur Springs by the UDC. In 1986, at age 16, Andy Taylor took on restoration of the cemetery as his Eagle Scout project, mowing the overgrown grounds and cleaning up trash dumped down the dead-end road where the resting place is located.

Ben Moore – Standing with Those Who Stand Ready

Every Memorial Day, Benjamin Moore’s parents decorate the graves of veterans whose lives touched their own. His father, a Vietnam-era veteran, and his mother devoted more than 60 combined years to helping veterans through their work at the VA hospital. Now in their 70s, they still buy meals for service members they encounter in uniform. For Benjamin, these gestures reflect a family commitment that shaped his understanding of service. “I was raised to believe serving those who serve us is simply part of our civic duty. They set the standard.” Today, Benjamin continues this devotion to service as Arkansas National Guard Foundation Board of Directors President.

North Little Rock's Johnny Cash Pavilion Nears Opening, Birthdate Typo and All

An eight-foot bronze Johnny Cash now stands bolted to a pedestal at Argenta Plaza in North Little Rock, the centerpiece of a pavilion meant to honor the state's deepest musical roots. But look closely at the base and you'll spot an error: it lists Cash's birth year as 1935 instead of 1932. Workers assembled the pavilion's elaborate steel structure through summer temperatures that hovered around 100 degrees, and with a grand-opening ceremony approaching, organizers expect the mistake likely won't be fixed in time.
