and Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Hard Rock has been a sponsoring partner for all Oklahoma Warrior Honor Flights, and the organization thanks them for their generous support.

The Oklahoma Warriors Honor Flight relies on the support of the community and encourages individuals and groups to join them at the Tulsa Airport for a great send-off Tuesday morning and/or a special welcome home Tuesday evening.

“We are honored to have the opportunity to take these courageous veterans to visit their war memorials in Washington D.C.,” said Vic Wheeler, President of the Oklahoma Warriors Honor Flight. “It is a privilege to be able to offer this experience to those who have given so much for our country. We could not do this without the support of our community and we encourage everyone to get involved and show their support.”
