Fallen Heroes Memorial comes to Village

The Arkansas Fallen Heroes Memorial will be in Hot Springs Village May 14 through 20 next to El Padrino Restaurant on Hwy 7. The breathtaking, heart-wrenching field of flags will be on display to honor the 115 Arkansas soldiers that have given the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms and rights.
Each fallen hero in the Global War on Terror is represented by a post with the Soldier’s photo, name and a short story in front of the American flag. The memorial flag field has traveled to many cities and towns so that people can learn about Arkansas’ Fallen Heroes. The goal of the traveling memorial is to raise funds to build a permanent memorial flag field at the Military History Museum in Jacksonville.
Motorcycle Parade Saturday May 14 at 11 a.m. The parade route will be the length of Desoto Blvd. from East to West. Please bring your flag to Desoto Blvd. to honor our heroes.
Parade staging at Mountainside Methodist at 10 a.m. Briefing at 10:30 a.m. All riders welcome.
The Memorial will open at noon on the May 14.
BBQ sandwiches, chips, and soft drink combo is available for $7.00. All profits go to the Memorial Fund.
