When the call to arms sounded in the war with Spain in 1898, Arkansas sent 2822 of her sons into the field with marvelous rapidity and many gave up their lives in hospital and camp.  Arkansas honors all who served and especially those who died as fully as if they had fallen in actual battle.   "How sleep the brave, who sink to rest by all their country's wishes blest!"

In the great World War of 1917, Arkansas sent her sons streaming overseas to save the world for liberty. Proud of their valor and their achievement's she rejoices for those who returned unharmed; and mourns for those who fell on the shell torn sod of Flanders and of France.   "The mighty mother turns with years, the pages of her battle years, lamenting all her fallen sons."
