Vets For Victory Capitol Rally Draws Huge Crowd

The Vets for Victory Rally at the State Capitol today drew a huge crowd, with hundreds expressing support for those in uniform. Congresswoman Mary Fallin and numerous state legislators were on hand as retired Army Lt. Colonel Steve Russell and others expressed the need for Americans to support those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and other places. A state proclamation declaring that the State of Oklahoma will not abandon the troops in the field in time of war was read. Speakers included retired Lt. Colonel Scott Ritter, co-founder of Vets For Victory, retired Army ranger and special ops veteran John Reitzell, and decorated veteran Ed Pulido (pictured). The rally was the first in what is planned to be a series of similar events in other states.
