Whereas, for more than 50 years, the community of Jackson-

the Armed Forces and their families at Little Rock Air 
Force Base; 
Whereas, after September 11, 2001, Little Rock Air Force 
Base restricted access to much of the community for se-
curity reasons, and in response to the tragedy and the re-
strictions caused by the terrorist attacks of September 
11, 2001, the community and air base came together to 
address a need for a new education facility for both mili-
tary members and civilians; 
Whereas, recognizing the need to raise funds for a new edu-
cational facility, the City Council of Jacksonville, Arkan-
sas, held a special election in which the citizens of Jack-
sonville overwhelmingly voted to adopt a temporary one- 
cent sales tax, which raised $5,000,000; 
Whereas these funds were donated to the Air Force to help 
build a new Joint Education Center on Federal property 
outside the base perimeter, so that the facility could be 
accessible to community people, students, and faculty, as 
well as air base personnel;
•HRES 1724 EH 
Whereas, in 2009, local individuals and businesses raised over 
$50,000 for the base’s 2010 Air show and more than 
$22,000 was donated in support of Little Rock Air Force 
Base rodeo teams that compete at McChord Air Force 
Base; 
Whereas community leaders sponsor numerous events, includ-
ing dances and community sporting and musical events, 
for members of the Armed Forces and their families at 
Little Rock Air Force Base and provide discounted or 
free tickets; 
Whereas the community sponsors a quarterly dinner for fami-
lies of deployed members and over 15,000 volunteer 
hours are provided by retirees at the Airman’s Attic, the 
Base Clinic, the Retirees Activities Office, and other base 
activities; and 
Whereas, on March 3, 2009, the City of Jacksonville, Arkan-
sas, was awarded the Abilene Trophy, which honors a ci-
vilian community for exceptional support of Air Mobility 
Command base at Little Rock Air Force Base: Now, 
therefore, be it
