Preparing for the parade for Fallen Heroes

Last February, Rotarian Charles Williams, a member of the Rotary Club of Scenic 7, suggested the club bring the Arkansas Fallen Heroes Memorial honoring Arkansas servicemen that have died in the Global War on Terror to the Village. The membership agreed it was a great idea.
A committee of four was formed to take care of the details bringing the memorial to the Village and in addition they created a motorcycle escort winding its way through the Village.
Yesterday morning at 11 a.m. the parade started at Mountainside United Methodist Church and covered the distance of DeSoto Boulevard on its way from the east gate and out the west gate to the property adjacent to El Padrino's.
The temporary memorial is on property managed by Jim Davis' and the members of the Rotary Club of Scenic 7 are thankful for his donation of the land for the week the memorial is here.
