    Ozarks Honor Flight

    Holiday Island resident and BOC Chair, Linda Griswold, was chosen to be a guardian for WWII Navy Veteran Max Calkin from Harrison, AR. It was a one day trip to Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Linda lost an uncle in WWII who was a B-17 Bomber pilot so when she was given the opportunity to accompany a veteran, she was honored. This whole experience was truly one that leaves me lacking for words. It was quite emotional but rewarding. We, as Americans, do truly owe our freedom to the men and women who have served or are serving in our armed forces. Click here to view photos.

    The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration have a wonderful resource of information
    on "Moving to Arkansas" available @ http://www.dfa.arkansas.gov/offices/policyAndLegal/Documents/moving_2_arkansas.pdf.
