Families of soldiers are to benefit from a
fund-raising drive by the United Way of Pulaski County. The money
will help families of National Guard or reserve members who are on
extended active duty, which can sometimes leave their dependents in
a bind.
The chapter created the Arkansas Homefront Fund to help those
left at home for a year or more and trying to cope with unexpected
bills, other financial obligations and unforeseen hardships.
About 45-hundred Arkansas Army National Guard, Army Reserve and
Air National Guard troops are on active duty domestically and
overseas.
Lieutenant Governor Winthrop Rockefeller is honorary chairman of
the fund.
