LITTLE FLOCK, Ark. — An Arkansas soldier serving with the Army in Iraq came back to the state on leave to surprise her family but instead found her family’s home destroyed by fire after a lightning strike.
Rebecca Beaird, 20, arrived July 23 and spent the day with family. When she and the family returned to the home later that night, they found that a fire had gutted it. Beaird had lived there with her parents and two sisters since 1999.
“It was sad because you think about everything that’s in there. My family lost everything,” Beaird told KHOG television.

Arkansas soldier returns to destroyed home needs your help
She is being redeployed in August and is worried about getting her parents settled first. Can anyone help them out with a donation or helping the family rebuild so this soldier will not have an extra burden to worry about?
