J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: JBHT), one of the
largest supply chain solutions providers in North America, is
hosting the Arkansas Run for the Fallen Traveling Memorial from
Nov. 5-12 outside its corporate offices in Lowell.
The memorial includes a 3x5-foot American flag and short
biography for each of the 141 Arkansas service members that have
died while serving since September 11, 2001. It is open to the
public, and visitors are encouraged to walk among the flags and
read about the lives of the fallen.
“At J.B. Hunt and across the nation, November is a time to honor
and celebrate our veterans,” said Eric Airola, co-chair of J.B.
Hunt’s Veterans Employee Resource Group (VERG). “It’s a privilege
to share their stories, and J.B. Hunt is proud to do its part in
supporting those who have served our country.”
Arkansas Run for the Fallen, the nonprofit responsible for the
traveling memorial, works to memorialize fallen Arkansas service
members and provide support to their families. In addition to the
traveling memorial, the non-profit organizes an annual run that
includes one mile for each Arkansan who has died while serving on
active duty since September 11, 2001. The 7th Annual Arkansas Run
for the Fallen is scheduled for March 16-18, 2018. The organization
and J.B. Hunt are both contributors to Wreaths Across America, an
annual nationwide effort to place a wreath on every veteran
headstone during the holiday season.
