OKLAHOMA CITY – Friends, family and Oklahoma National Guard leaders gathered Monday at the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Mustang, Oklahoma, for a ceremony held for members of the Oklahoma National Guard’s Task Force Thunder.
Approximately 160 Guardsmen will depart for Washington, D.C., in the coming days in support of the D.C. Safe and Beautiful mission.
Gov. Kevin Stitt authorized Oklahoma Guardsmen to volunteer for the mission, which is scheduled for approximately 90 days. The mission falls under the direction of Joint Task Force D.C.
“Our Guardsmen routinely answer the call to serve and support their community, state and nation,” said Maj. Gen. Thomas H. Mancino, adjutant general of Oklahoma. “As with many stateside support missions, this mission is voluntary, and I am so proud of each and every one of our Guardsmen as they continue to step forward.”
