Tinker ‘honors’ Oklahoma veterans
Col. Stephanie Wilson, 72nd Air Base Wing and installation commander, talks with Bob Hedgecoke, 93, of Guthrie, during a sendoff reception for Honor Flight veterans Sept. 15 at Rose State College. Mr. Hedgecoke was a radio repairman during World War II, assigned to the 551st Signal Battalion, 3rd Army. He was one of 81 veterans taking part in an Oklahoma Honor Flight last week that took the WWII and Korean War veterans from Oklahoma City to Washington, D.C., to visit memorials built in their honor.
