(LITTLE ROCK, ARK.) – Arkansas Secretary of State John Thurston is honored to host a new temporary display at the State Capitol that pays tribute to fallen soldiers. The art exhibit entitled, Artistic Expression Through Grief: Hearts of our Heroes, is sponsored by Hearts of our Heroes, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing long-term support to families of fallen military service members.

Secretary Thurston said, "We are proud to work with military, veteran, and family support organizations at the Capitol. They represent the best of us and we want them to know they are always welcome here."

The display will be available for viewing in the fourth floor gallery until September 8th.

The Hearts of our Heroes Gala is Saturday, September 9th, 2023 and many of these art pieces were made and/or donated by survivors to share with those attending the gala.
