'Wild Oklahoma' Features Paralyzed Veterans
"Wild Oklahoma," the radio and television show hosted by Ron Black, features members of the Mid-America Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America today. The radio show airs at 4 p.m. on KTOK-AM 1000 in Oklahoma City.
Black, broadcaster and blogger who often advocates for veterans, writes, "I spent the weekend with members of the Mid-America Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America on a turkey hunt in Miami, Oklahoma (and) it was a life-changing event. Today during the show at 4pm on KTOK, we are going to interview Lt. Col. Lew Deal (USMC-Ret.) about the PVA and we're going to talk about how the PVA helps disabled veterans transition and lead a 'normal' life.
"(The hunt) was an unbelievable experience. On Saturday afternoon as we were wrapping up, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. These men are not only heroes of our nation, but heroes in how they function every day with some of the most intense challenges, and they do so in such an incredibly humble manner."
