There are all sorts of heroes, especially in wartime. The Van Buren Rotary Club was honored on February 19th to have as its guest speaker, Chaplain Wes Hilliard, Lt. Colonel, Arkansas Army National Guard, who recently returned from his second tour of duty, this time in southern Iraq. Using pictures taken while overseas and a mixture of humor and straight-from-the-shoulder stories, Hilliard conveyed not only a few of his own experiences in Iraq, but the vitally important ministry carried on by all military chaplains at home and abroad. Hilliard also serves as the lead pastor at Heritage United Methodist Church in Van Buren. Welcome home.Paula Morton Rotarian of the Day, arranged for the program and introduced Rev. Hilliard.
