The Arkansas Fallen Heroes Memorial

The Arkansas Fallen Heroes Memorial honoring the servicemen that have died in the Global War on terror was created by Rob Hopper of Wynne, Arkansas. Hopper lost his son, Brian Chase Hopper, in Iraq. He is trying to raise funds for a permanent home for the Fallen Heroes Memorial. It will take $250,000. Hopper has raised half.
Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Scenic 7 are staffing the memorial to take donations. The goal is to have a permanent home for the memorial at the Arkansas Military Museum in Jacksonville. The memorial will be in Hot Springs Village for one week.
There are 115 flags representing 115 fallen servicemen saluted in the Arkansas Fallen Heroes Memorial.
