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.

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.

They set the standard.” Today, Benjamin continues this devotion to service as Arkansas National Guard Foundation Board of Directors President.
