Arkansas Air and Military Museum began Arkansans Behind the Flag in the summer of 2022. This oral history project strives to preserve the voices and stories of Arkansans who devoted their lives to protecting not only the citizens of Arkansas but the entire country.
This project accepts all active duty and veteran participants. Additionally stories can also be told by family members posthumously.
If you or your family member would like to be included on this project please contact Hallie at cartwrighth.aamm@gmail.com
