Tonight, we honor the beautiful life and legacy of Wanda "Jeannie" Arwood. Jeannie was a beloved part of the Cotter community for over 10 years. She managed an apartment complex in Cotter and was always passionate about giving back to the community she called home. She dreamed of seeing the Cotter Bridge lit and worked to make it happen through fundraising. Jeannie was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and her impact reached far beyond her family. Her kindness, generosity, and love for Cotter will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Tonight, as the bridge shines in her honor, may it serve as a lasting reminder of a remarkable woman who loved her family, her community, and her home in Cotter. Rest peacefully, Jeannie. Your light will continue to shine.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when the world unites in a sea of pink ribbons, illuminating the urgency of breast cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment. In Arkansas, more than 2,400 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. It is the most common cancer for women in Arkansas and the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women both in Arkansas and the United States. Awareness is power. If you or someone you love has been affected by this, we recognize you, have faith with you, and support you.

Twenty-five years have passed, but we will never forget. Today, we pause to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the firefighters, police officers, first responders, service members, and everyday heroes who ran toward danger when others were running away. We remember the families who were forever changed, the brave men and women who answered the call to serve in the years that followed, and the incredible strength our nation showed in one of its darkest hours.
On that day, America was wounded-but our spirit was not broken. We stood together as neighbors, communities, and one nation. May we never forget the lives lost, sacrifices made, the heroes who emerged, and the unity that reminded us of what it means to be an American.
As the Cotter Bridge shines in remembrance, may its lights serve as a symbol of honor for those we lost, gratitude for those who served, and hope for generations to come. 25 years later, we remember. We honor. We stand united.
