Burial service to be held June 9 for Gravette WWII soldier killed in D-Day invasion
GRAVETTE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — After more than 80 years, a Northwest Arkansan hero is returning home. Private Rodger Dean Andrews, a World War II soldier from Gravette, will be laid to rest with full military honors at 2:00 p.m. Monday, June 9, at Bethel Cemetery in Gravette, according to the Benton County Sheriff's Office (BSCO). His remains, recently identified after decades of uncertainty, will arrive in Northwest Arkansas the evening of Sunday, June 8 and be received by Epting Funeral Home in Bentonville. On Monday, the BCSO Motor Division will escort Private Andrews to his final resting place, joined by Military Honors and the Patriot Guard. The procession will depart Epting Funeral Home (709 N. Walton Blvd, Bentonville) at 1:15 p.m. and follow this route: South on N. Walton Blvd Right on SW 14th Street (Highway 102) Right on Highway 59 through Decatur Right on Bethel Road in Gravette Left into Bethel Cemetery 'Community members are encouraged to line the route and pay their respects to honor the life and service of Private Rodger Dean Andrews, a true American hero,' BSCO said in a Facebook post. HISTORY: Grant Hardin's 12-day escape joins the state's most infamous escapes The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced in a news release on October 2 that U.S. Army Private Rodger D. Andrews, 19, was accounted for on June 5. Andrews was assigned in June 1944 to Company C of the 37th Engineer Combat Battalion in the European Theater. On June 6, 1944, American, Canadian and British forces came ashore on the beaches of Normandy in France during Operation Overlord. The release said that at some point during the battle, Andrews was killed, but due to the chaos, it is not known what happened to him. Private Rodger Dean Andrews' remains were recovered after D-Day but went unidentified for decades. In 2014, his family requested renewed efforts. A belt with his initials helped prompt a review, and in 2019, the remains were exhumed. Scientists confirmed his identity through dental and anthropological analysis. A rosette will now mark his name at the Normandy American Cemetery. Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders said during her remarks at the 2025 Memorial Day Observance at Camp Robinson in North Little Rock that U.S. Army Private Rodger D. Andrews, 18, will be laid to rest at a family plot on June 9, more than 81 years after his death. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Camp Leif Ericson is back in session for the summer
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A popular camp in Sioux Falls has opened its gates for another summer. It's opening week at Camp Leif Ericson, where there's always something to do. 'I like biking and I also like going on the river and archery, and I like the horses, I just like everything basically (laugh),' 14-year-old Sophie Sherwood said. Task force wants a cheaper plan for new men's prison 14-year-old Sophie Sherwood is attending camp for the seventh year. 'It's just really fun and I like meeting a lot of new people, and I come with the same person every year but we always find new friends and talk to new people,' Sherwood said. Leif Ericson offers camps to boys and girls, ages 4-15, June, July, and into August. 'Our 4- and 5-year-olds do half days and then all of our other campers do two full weeks with full days,' Tepeetonka Leadership Camp director Aspen Taylor said. Aspen Taylor is in charge of the Tepeetonka Leadership Camp for 14- and 15-year-olds and keeps the older kids busy. 'Everything from BB guns and archery to crafts to horses, the mini-farm, biking, pretty much anything you can think of outdoors is what we have out here,' Taylor said. She hopes the kids walk away with a meaningful memory of camp. 'I think a lot of kids are on their phones and smart devices all of the time and so having them come out and be able to embrace nature and breathe in air, just have a mutual respect for nature, I think is one of our big things,' Taylor said. And Sherwood is happy to follow the counselors' lead. 'They're all really nice and you can tell that they choose good people to be counselors because they're all good leaders and they support you, they're like your family basically,' Sherwood said. There is still time to sign up for camp this summer. We'll introduce you to the new camp director at Leif Ericson during Thursday night's Eye on KELOLAND. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Madison County honors WWII veterans celebrating 100+ years of life
MADISON COUNTY, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — On June 5, four World War II veterans from Madison County, each over 100 years old, were honored with a birthday celebration at the county's senior activity center. They were just teenagers when they served; only 16, 17 and 18 years old. Many of them weren't drafted but volunteered. Now, eight decades later, they're being celebrated not just for their service, but for their lives. The event was filled with patriotic decorations, birthday balloons and a room packed with friends, family and fellow veterans. 'It was wonderful,' said organizer Jannie Layne. 'This place was packed.' The honorees included 100-year-old Marine Corps veteran Loy Watson, 102-year-old Denton Grubbs, 100-year-old William Bowling and 100-year-old W.J. Combs. 'You know, a lot of these young fellows…. you never know much about the war,' Watson said. 'Somebody then tells you.' Rogers School District auctions tiny house made by students; money to be reinvested in the program Hubert Combs traveled from Tennessee to celebrate with his brother W.J. Combs 'It's about the freedom we enjoy, the freedom they helped maintain,' said Hubert Combs, a veteran himself. Over sweet tea, birthday cake and heartfelt speeches, the day was both a tribute and a reunion. The original celebration expanded beyond the four centenarians, as 10 to 12 other veterans in attendance were also honored. 'It makes me makes me cry, makes me so emotional to think about all the things that these men went through and their families went through,' Layne said. 'We got to honor them in a little way to say thank you.' The celebration served as a powerful reminder of what journalist Tom Brokaw famously called 'the greatest generation any society has ever produced.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
