I was honored to recognize the military of Arkansas veterans during a medal presentation at the Bella Vista American Legion.

Albert Harris of Rogers and Larry Wilson of Bella Vista were awarded medals for their service in the Navy during Vietnam.  Travis McCullough and James Phillips were posthumously recognized. Their medals were accepted by their families.

Military and Veterans Liaison Steve Gray works with the Department of Defense to obtain the medals our veterans earned, but never received. Steve does a great job presenting medals to veterans all across the state.
