Default Vets4Victory Rally In Oklahoma

Yes, my family and I attended the rally this morning and it was AWESOME!!

Legislature shows troop support
Rally scheduled Saturday morning on the steps of the state Capitol

By John Greiner
Capitol Bureau
The Oklahoma Senate and House passed a resolution Thursday supporting America's military men and women.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 8 was authored by Sen. Tom Ivester, D-Elk City, a combat veteran who served in Afghanistan, and Rep. Paul Wesselhoft, R-Moore, who served as an Army chaplain.

"It's important that the state of Oklahoma stands behind the troops,” Ivester said.

Wesselhoft said he wants to be sure today's military personnel will be acknowledged when they return from the combat zones.

The resolution also designates Saturday as Vets for Victory Day in Oklahoma.

The organization Vets for Victory is holding a rally at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the south steps of the state Capitol to show support for American troops.

Retired Lt. Col. Steve Russell, who was involved in the hunt and capture of former Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein, is a rally organizer.

He said Oklahomans must let soldiers know that their state is behind them.

wow, Kix, I wish that I had known about this rally, it would have been worth 65 miles one way to be there and show support. I wonder how many state houses are doing this?

I wish that I had known about it also. I wonder why it wasn't more widely advertised?

I wish I'd known you didn't know about it. I guess I forget that everyone in Oklahoma doesn't get KTOK Radio. I know the Oklahoma and most TV stations pretty much brushed it off.

This won't be the last one; I guarantee it. So, I promise next time I'll let you both know.

Lady, as you well know, Okies support the military as much as they can, what with 3 air bases, Fort Sill and the ammo depot in Mcalister.
