Like to thank Earl Strebeck, caretaker for Duncan Cemetery, for the card and letter regarding the wreaths that the VFW Post put out a few weeks ago. The old oldest cemetery in the county.

Be aware and be nice. They are driving vehicles made for war, not for comfort, and by the lowest bidder.

ARDOT said in a release that from May 29 through June 15 an uptick in military traffic will be expected as the National Guard goes to and from yearly training.

Yesterday we put out wreaths for Memorial Day, Flag Day, and Independence Day to our local cemeteries entrances. We also delivered a large wreath to the Oklahoma Veterans Home in Sallisaw. Like to thank everyone for sponsoring a wreath. I would also like to thank everyone who helped, made, and donated to this year’s project.

Very proud of our local heroes and our VFW Post 4518 member Sergeant 1st Class Alan Haney.

U.S. Army 1st Lt. Jonathan Goins, Sgt. 1st Class Allen Haney, Staff Sgt. Chelsea Leon, and Sgt. Jesus Prado, assigned to the Arkansas National Guard and Joint Task Force–District of Columbia, were among the soldiers who responded to a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., on April 25, 2026. Working alongside federal and local agencies, the team quickly moved from a standby posture into action to help secure the scene and protect attendees.

“Our guardsmen on this mission represent the very best of our nation,” asserts Brig. Gen. Leland Blanchard II, the interim commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard. “The world got a brief glimpse, but I see them each day serving and doing amazing things across the district.”

When the situation evolved, the response was instinctive. These Soldiers from Arkansas, Nebraska, and North Dakota showed a fundamental truth: readiness isn’t a switch flipped during a crisis, it’s a state of being created by years of training and discipline. Their actions showcased a force that is always poised to move from community members to trained and disciplined professionals. They embody the Army values, and proved that the National Guard is always ready, always there.”
