MCN Veterans Affairs Service Office holds open house
OKMULGEE, Okla. — The Muscogee (Creek) Nation Veterans Affairs Service Office is holding an open house on Nov. 9 at the VASO Office on the MCN Tribal Complex in Okmulgee, Okla. The open house will celebrate Veterans Day.
MCN Principal Chief James R. Floyd and Second Chief Louis Hicks will be on site to meet with the veterans and open house attendees.
“Our chief is going to be here. They like to meet and great the veterans, friends and family as they come in. It is a good way for our chiefs to get to know even better their veterans,” VASO Director Ken Davis said.
The open house will also showcase the newly redesigned Purple Hearts, Killed in Action and Died of Wounds in Action plaques located in the courtyard of the building.
“The other ones were being worn out by the elements,” Davis said. “We decided to go a head and make it more presentable. This is a lot more information on it, specifically the divisions and units they fought with.”
Davis hopes the open house will allow visitors to engage with staff to learn more about our veterans and history.
The event will be held from 9:00 am to noon. For questions, please call VASO at (918) 732-7739.
