KFAQ is Tulsa's Talk Station |
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe is returning to Tulsa after spending the weekend visiting Oklahoma National Guard troops in Kuwait and Afghanistan.
Oklahoma's senior U.S. senator arrived in Tulsa Monday after ringing in the new year with troops from Oklahoma's 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team.
Inhofe is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and left Friday for Kuwait where he met with some of the 45th soldiers stationed there. He then arrived in Afghanistan on New Year's Eve and spent the night with soldiers there.
During his visit Inhofe delivered cards and letters to the soldiers from students at Grove Valley Elementary School in Edmond.
More than 3,000 soldiers with the 45th deployed in June in what is the Oklahoma National Guard's largest deployment since the Korean War.
