There could not have been a more fitting way to begin the @SBGolfChamp than with this morning’s Folds of Honor ceremony at the first tee. The flyover and Patriot Parachute Team jumpers offered a stirring reminder of the courage and commitment of our military members and first responders. I was proud to attend alongside Governor @SarahHuckabee Sanders, @SenTomCotton, @RepFrenchHill, and other elected officials. Today was a powerful reminder that service and sacrifice is asked not only of those in uniform, but their families and loved ones as well. #arnews

Today, I spoke to students at Arkansas High School during the MLK Nonviolence Youth Summit about citizenship, service, leadership and civic pride as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. Having traveled to countries around the world, I can say there is no place like America, especially Arkansas. I encouraged students to appreciate the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy as Americans and to recognize the important role they play in shaping our nation's future. #arnews

Today I spoke at the Rotary Club of Texarkana’s 47th Annual Public Safety Officer Appreciation Banquet. I recognized the men and women who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe. Because of their dedication and extraordinary work ethic, we can sleep peacefully at night knowing they are protecting us from dangers we may never see. Their work is also critical to the larger fight against threats like China’s gray zone warfare, illicit massage parlors, and fentanyl on our streets. I am grateful for their service, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to keeping Arkansans safe. #arnews

Today, I launched my One Pill Can Kill initiative at @ASUBeebe, the 16th college campus to join this lifesaving effort.
