Veteran gets Purple Heart decades after service
SUMMARY: A Marine veteran, who was wounded in Vietnam and missed receiving a Purple Heart for decades, was finally honored with the award recently. During combat in September 1968, he was shot in the head at just 19 years old, sustaining serious injuries that led to over a year in the hospital. Although his discharge paperwork overlooked his Purple Heart, efforts from the Marines and Senator James Lankford’s office rectified this error. The ceremony took place at the Norman Veterans Home on Veterans Day, where fellow Marines and family celebrated this long-overdue recognition, honoring his service and sacrifice.

Frustration nears boiling point over pipeline construction
SUMMARY: Local property owners are fighting against Phillips 66, which plans to build a crude oil pipeline through their land using eminent domain. Longtime farmer Don Crow describes the damage to his property, worsened by recent rainfall, which has transformed usable land into a muddy mess. Crow and neighbors, affected despite not having their land taken, are in district court contesting the project, which they argue is poorly managed. Phillips 66 claims the project serves a public good and that homeowners rejected fair compensation. Legal resolutions are anticipated to drag on into the following year, potentially increasing damage.

Veteran's home damaged following lightning strike
SUMMARY: U.S. Air Force veteran Dallas Norton is starting over after lightning struck his home during last week’s tornado outbreak, causing significant damage and fire. Though he escaped unharmed, he lost nearly everything, including cherished items and his home near Lake Hefner in Oklahoma City. While living in a hotel and separated from his dog, Annie, whom he had to rehome temporarily, Norton remains grateful to be alive. He reflects on saving some memories of his late father, including military medals. A GoFundMe page has been created to assist him in his recovery.
