The resolution recognizes Mr. Vincent Eastwood for his significant contributions to assisting veterans in Arkansas and beyond. Born in Oklahoma and later moving to Arkansas, Mr. Eastwood served in the Army National Guard and was deployed during the Gulf War, where he faced health challenges due to exposure to a nerve agent. Despite his ongoing medical issues, he dedicated himself to helping fellow veterans, starting with building wheelchair ramps and expanding his efforts to include organizing hunts for disabled veterans, initiating the Reboot Combat Recovery program, and providing transportation to medical appointments.
In 2022, Mr. Eastwood founded RECON VI - Operation All In, which focuses on trauma healing for veterans and first responders, recreational therapy through outdoor activities, and supporting families in need during the holidays. The resolution commends Mr. Eastwood for his unwavering service and dedication to veterans, and it calls for a copy of the resolution to be provided to him as a formal acknowledgment of his efforts.
