they are a legacy...they are the
keeping the promise...
We are an Arkansas 501c3 dedicated to honoring fallen service members by keeping the promise to our nation's heroes...never forgetting the Families left behind. Hearts of our Heroes is an inclusive nonprofit organization regardless of your loved one's military branch, duty status, or manner of death.
For the last 12 years I have stood side by side our military Families of the Fallen – something they called ‘my job’ but I called it an honor and a privilege because those Families are MY family. And we are always there for our FAMILY. Through all the smiles and laughs, I have also seen the hardships and needs of our Arkansas Families of the Fallen (aka Gold Star Families) and due to many of you, I have been able to provide what they needed when they needed it. Each of you have touched my life in a way that enables me to do what my heart calls me to do and I am so very thankful for that. For years I had wanted to establish a nonprofit organization for Survivors with Survivors…and that day finally came. On February 9, 2022, I officially founded ‘Hearts of our Heroes’ as a nonprofit organization to support our Arkansas Families of the Fallen. It will still take work, support and dedication to continue this effort so I pray that all of you will take an interest in supporting our efforts, volunteering your time, partnering with us, as well as sharing this resource with other Survivors and those in the community that want to give back but maybe don’t know how. Our mission is simple…keeping the promise to our nation’s heroes by NEVER forgetting the Families left behind. Hugs, Andrea
Our Military Families of the Fallen include all Survivors...it doesn't matter the branch of service, the duty status or manner of death of your Fallen Hero

Survivors venture out for a day on the lake at Fairfield Bay — sun, cool water, food, laughs, and fellowship.
(Survivors only event)
Over 675 pairs of combat boots each with the rank, name, photo, and year of death of an Arkansas Service Member.
A word most don't like to say or even whisper...suicide and mental health is still an elephant in the room and we must work to bring awareness and support to mental health resources, PTSD awareness and suicide prevention. Luminary bags lit with candles represent those who have battled PTSD, Survivors of Suicide, Survivors of Suicide Loss and the support of our community.
The 15 ft white Christmas tree with 675 gold star ornaments adorning the rank, name and year of death of each Service Member from Arkansas who died while serving since 9/11.
