Thursday, June 26, 2014
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, the National Veterans Golden Age Games are set to take over Fayetteville and the region this weekend; we speak with one 79-year-old Vietnam veteran who hopes to win in his competitions, and we speak with an Arkansas elder who decided to obtain his GED many, many years after his high school years had passed. Plus, while many eyes are on the happenings at the World Cup, we attend a sports match of a different nature, polo, in Bentonville.
Two months after massive twisters shred portions of Franklin and Johnson Counties, we tour the impact zone and check on the status of FEMA assistance. To contact the Red Cross: www.redcross.org.
