With thousand of Oklahomans
playing an active role in the war on terrorism,
Gov. Henry moved to lend assistance to
soldiers abroad and families at home.
Operation Homefront provides tax benefits,
insurance and other assistance to military
men and women serving overseas. The governor
has also pushed for increased funding
for the state’s veteran centers to
make sure the heroes of yesterday’s
conflicts are well cared for.
When historic wildfires struck the state
in 2005 and 2006, Gov. Henry moved quickly
to aid firefighters and first responders
on the front lines. The governor pushed
to obtain federal disaster assistance
for Oklahoma and implemented Operation
Firewall, a program that will deliver
more resources, equipment and training
to rural fire departments across the state
