View all 8 ReflectionsDeputy Holt, I noticed your name on the Arkansas Law Enforcement Memorial today while performing duties with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Honor Guard during National Police Week. Although I have heard stories of you from family members, I was never more proud to stand by that inscription and recognize your sacrifice to the citizens of Cross County Arkansas. You will forever be remembered. Thank you for your service Sir.
