Arkansas crew leader lends his voice to memorial run

Arkansas crew leader lends his voice to memorial run.

For the past three years, Robert, a crew leader in our Arkansas offices, has kicked off the annual Arkansas Run for the Fallen by singing the national anthem. This year’s run was held March 18-20. 

During the Arkansas Run for the Fallen, a team of runners traverses 155 miles to honor active duty Arkansas service members who have died since Sept. 11, 2001.

The race begins in Ozark and ends in Little Rock, with each mile of the run dedicated to an Arkansas hero. The runners stop at each marker where they present an American flag and a biographical card in honor of a fallen service member in an effort to create a 155-mile memorial trail through Arkansas.

We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Make sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
