About
“Veterans know better than anyone else the price of freedom, for they’ve suffered the scars of war. We can offer them no better tribute than to protect what they have won for us.” – President Ronald Reagan
The Fort Smith Historical Society (FSHS) has interviewed numerous local veterans and made video recordings of their wartime experiences. We are grateful to all those who have participated over the years and shared their heroic stories with our organization.
