Members of Okmulgee’s VFW Post 1189 visited the office of State Rep. Scott Fetgatter yesterday afternoon.Dennis Cunningham, John F. Hartman and Bob Mason presented an American and Oklahoman flag to be displayed in the representative’s office on behalf of the VFW.
“We are the defenders of the flag,” Hartman said. “It means a lot us that he is willing to display them proudly.”
The VFW members also talked with Fetgatter about the importance of groups like the VFW and their role in advocating for veterans benefits.
“As a veteran’s organization, we are always looking out for veterans,” Hartman said. “We appreciate it when representatives allow us the time to speak up for veterans.”
“Our veterans deserve the best,” Fetgatter said. “They paid a price for all of us, and we should do everything we can to make sure their needs are met. As long as I am a representative in this building, these flags will be behind my desk.”
