GOP Lincoln Day Dinner Honors Military

The Oklahoma County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner on April 14th will honor the military with former State Rep. and Iraq war veteran Kevin Calvey (shown on the firing range) as keynote speaker, Chair Pam Pollard said.
A reception begins at 6 pm, followed by dinner at 7 pm in the Petroleum Club in downtown Oklahoma City.
"We will be honoring all men and women who have served in our Military. The '3 Colonels' as they have become to be known, Lt. Colonels, Stuart Jolly, Hopper Smith and Steve Russell will begin our event with the Prayer, Pledge and the National Anthem," Pollard said.
The program will begin with retired Major General Rita Aragon, Oklahoma's first woman general, relating her experiences in the Oklahoma Air National Guard.

Kevin King, USS Oklahoma webmaster, has prepared a video of all the sailors of the USS Oklahoma, featuring the survivors and their families reflecting on December 7, 1941.

The keynote address will be given by Calvey, an Army captain who just returned from serving a year in Baghdad helping prosecute Iraqi terrorists.
Tickets for the event are $50/person for dinner, $100/person dinner and reception.
