Read moreFormer Army Capt. Bob Ford (top left) was the guest speaker at Monday’s Veterans Day Assembly at Kingfisher High School. Ford, who resides in Okeene, served as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam from July 1967 to July 1968 and flew over 1,000 missions. He was inducted into the Oklahoma Military Hall of Fame in 2018. The program also included music by the KHS band as well as selections from the KHS choir (top right). Student speakers were Oklahoma Boys State and Oklahoma Girls State delegates including Landon Eaton (bottom left) and Remi Boutwell (bottom right). Veterans and their families were treated to a luncheon after the program. To see Ford’s speech, see the Kingfisher High School Facebook page.
