Unit 12 of the American Legion Auxiliary – Bethany/Warr Acres – had a heartfelt morning visiting the VA Hospital in downtown Oklahoma City! They were honored to hand out goodies and bring smiles to our incredible Vietnam Veterans.
A huge THANK YOU to Debbie, Eddie, Patty, and Vernon for their dedication, kindness, and selfless service. Your efforts made this day even more special!
What a wonderful day! What a wonderful time to honor our Vietnam Veterans.

Yesterday, we held our first Oklahoma Veterans Advisory Forum at the Department of Transportation’s conference room, and what an incredible turnout! 75 enthusiastic attendees came ready with questions, ideas, and a shared commitment to supporting our veterans.
It was an outstanding event with a great venue, a great atmosphere, and most importantly, great discussions. We successfully connected individuals with ODVA experts who could address their specific needs, forming working groups to tackle key issues.
This is just the beginning—we’ll be hosting another forum next quarter! Thank you for your support, engagement, and valuable feedback. We hear you, Oklahoma veterans and Veterans Service Organizations! This forum is your platform to make an impact and improve services for veterans across our great state.
For God, Country, and Service,
Brett Martin
Chairman, Oklahoma Veterans Commission

Strong. Brave. Unstoppable.
To every woman who has selflessly raised her right hand, signed the blank check, and stood in defense of our great nation—thank you. Your courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication inspire us all.
God bless each and every one of you who have served and continue to serve. 🇺🇸🙏

Talking about finishing our ceiling—what a blessing today at Post 12! Mike Marxen, Rex, Warlick, Phil Hendrix, and Carroll Dobbs came together, and we finished off our 4,000-square-foot ceiling. Our ceiling is made up of Wayne’s coating, and when we put it up during the remodel, we initially striped it going north to south. Today, we came back and striped it going east to west, creating an official library- or study-type ceiling. It turned out simply amazing, thanks to the selfless service of these wonderful volunteers doing more and more each and every day for both Post 12 and Post 1340, as well as our community of Bethany Warr Acres.

Great job, gentlemen! Thank you for everything—for God, country, and service.

Oklahoma City, OK – The Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs (ODVA) is proud to announce a new partnership with Major Talent, a workforce development organization dedicated to equipping Veterans with the tools and confidence needed to take ownership of their career journey.
Through this collaboration, Oklahoma Veterans will gain access to a comprehensive suite of career-building resources, including military-to-civilian skills translation support, professional resume writing, interview preparation, and job placement strategies.
