Representative Mark Chapman introduced Lieutenant Colonel Wendell Grant Husky as the House's veteran of the week. The clerk read a citation summarizing Husky's military career and asking that the citation be presented to him.
According to the citation read on the floor, Husky enlisted in 1975 in the Oklahoma Army National Guard and later attended Air Force Officer Training School. The citation notes Husky served as a Titan II missile launch officer at Little Rock Air Force Base, held logistics and planning roles at multiple bases including deployments overseas, helped initiate the Air Force ROTC program at OSU Tulsa and served on an enemy combatant review board at Naval Station Guantánamo Bay. The citation states Husky retired from active duty and later from the Air Force Reserve in January 2009 and remains active in the American Legion chapter in Coweta, Oklahoma.
The citation language on the floor records the presentation as made “pursuant to the motion of Representative Mark Chapman,” and the clerk directed that the citation be presented to Lieutenant Colonel Husky.
Husky and family members were present in the gallery for the recognition; the House later invited Husky to lead the chamber in the Pledge of Allegiance. No formal legislative action beyond the citation presentation was recorded for this item.
