Arkansas National Guard to host All Services Roll Call


WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (KAIT/Edited News Release) – The Arkansas National Guard will host an All Services Roll Call at 6 p.m. April 23 at the Donald W. Reynolds Center, 2000 West Broadway Ave. in West Memphis, Ark.

The event is an opportunity to talk to veterans about the Arkansas National Guard, and to help connect them with veterans service and benefits available. Food will be provided.

“Our reason for doing this is simple: we want to reestablish contact and strengthen our relationships with retirees and veterans across the state of Arkansas. It doesn’t matter which branch of service; whether active, reserve, or National Guard. All our former service members need to know we still care about them and their families,” said Maj. Gen. Jonathan Stubbs, Arkansas’ adjutant general.

The All Services Roll Call is an opportunity for Crittenden County area military retirees and veterans to connect or reconnect with the Arkansas National Guard and strengthen the connection that military service isn’t just a point in time of one’s life, but a life-long bond of brothers and sisters in uniform.

Outside stakeholders will be present with veteran-focused information booths and include the Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs, representatives from the offices of Arkansas’ congressional delegation, veterans service organizations, the Arkansas Military Affairs Council, and Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve.
