Governor Mike Beebe and Irish Consul General Martin Rouine have been invited to attend the ceremony in Calvary Cemetery at 2 p.m. March 14. King was buried there after he died in May 1938 while being treated for pneumonia at the Army & Navy General Hospital. The March 14 ceremony is being coordinated by the Hot Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau with the assistance of the Thadeus H. Caraway Post 2278 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Post Commander Ralph Faresc. The VFW is coordinating the military portion of the event and several other local groups have asked to be involved with the ceremony. Calvary Cemetery, the local Catholic cemetery is located at the intersection of Greenwood Avenue and Third Street. The shortest route is to take Central Avenue to Greenwood and turn west. Details about King’s life and the circumstances surrounding his two Medals of Honor were extremely sketchy until Elizabeth Robbins, executive director of the Garland County Historical Society, began an intensive search for more information.

  • Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress
    Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress Updated October 29, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RS22478 Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress Summary Names for Navy ships traditionally have been chosen and announced by the Secretary of the Navy, under the direction of the President and in accordance with rules prescribed by Congress. Rules for giving certain types of names to certain types of Navy ships have evolved over time. There have been exceptions to the Navy’s ship-naming rules, particularly for the purpose of naming a ship for a person when the rule for that type of ship would have called for it to be named for something else. Some observers have perceived a breakdown in, or corruption of, the rules for naming Navy ships. Section 1749 of the FY2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (S. 1790/P.L. 116-92 of December 20, 2019) prohibits the Secretary of Defense, in naming a new ship (or other asset) or renaming an existing ship (or other asset), from giving the asset a name that refers to, or includes a term referring to, the Confederate States of America, including any name referring to a person who served or held leadership within the Confederacy, or a Confederate battlefield victory. The provision also states that “nothing in this section may be construed as requiring a Secretary concerned to initiate a review of previously named assets.” Section 1749 of the House-reported FY2021 NDAA (H.R. 6395) would prohibit the public display of the Confederate battle flag on Department of Defense (DOD) property, including naval vessels.
