"I fully endorse Travis Harp 100%. I am a retired veteran and had the honor of serving along side Travis. I can attest that Travis, is a man of action and character. Travis displayed courage and intestinal fortitude, on multiple occasions while he and his fellow soldiers faced insurmountable odds, knowingly placed his soldiers safety and well being before his own. I owe my life to this young man, as I was injured on a hazardous combat mission whilst in Baghdad, Iraq. Travis helped lead others to assist in my medical evacuation, all the while under combat conditions. This man is still putting other people's needs above his own. Actions speak Louder than words."
John Hipolito US ARMY (Retired)
"Travis Harp has served on Gravette Fire Department for over 2 years. I have personally witnessed Capt. Harp manage chaotic emergency scenes and he is able to do it well and even brings a calm about his crew as he does it. He is in charge of our EMS and training, Capt. Harp excels at his duties and has had to rise above and beyond to help in matters normally handled by the Chief as I am battling cancer and not always able to do so. He approaches matters with an open mind and makes decisions based on the greater good or the best moral choice. I personally believe he would be an asset and always have the city's best interest at heart. "
Chief David Orr
