Attorney General Leslie Rutledge is asking Arkansans to be wary of scam artists that try to manipulate military veterans and active duty personnel to steal

LITTLE ROCK – This Memorial Day Weekend is much more than an extra day off from work; it is a day to reflect on the sacrifices that were made by countless men and women who died in service to our nation. It is also a good time to thank our veterans, military service members, and their families for their service to the United States of America. Unfortunately, because of their service, it also makes our brave men and women a target of scam artists who try to manipulate service members to steal their personal information.
“It is disgraceful that these criminals would target some of our bravest men and women who have put their lives on the line for this great country,” said Attorney General Rutledge. “I want veterans, active duty and reserve service members, and their families across Arkansas to learn how to recognize these scams to avoid falling victim to the deception.”
To the editor:
This letter is in response to the article by Dave Kurtz regarding the Veteransâ Service Office in the May 9 issue of The News Sun.
First, and most important, we wish to thank Ronda Hunkler, and all who serve in the DeKalb County Veterans Service Office who has military service, for their service to our country.
Whether intentional or not, this article sheds a very negative light on the County Service Officers in adjacent counties to DeKalb. We can speak only of LaGrange where we are residents. We have worked for years with our County Veteran Service Officer and continue to do so. He has always responded to any inquiry and has offered assistance whenever asked. What his in-person availability is due to COVID and otherwise we cannot relay and much is out of his control. We were shocked at the tone of the article and we were under the impression that comrades supported each other.
