Okmulgee Vietnam Veteran Receives Surprise Welcome Home

One of Oklahoma's Own Vietnam veterans got a big homecoming surprise Tuesday afternoon.

Ronnie Haney of Okmulgee just returned from a trip to Cambodia, his first trip back since fighting in the war.

Tuesday, friends, family, and the Patriot Guard Riders gave Ronnie a special welcome home at Tulsa International Airport; it was a welcome the Purple Heart recipient didn't get when he came home the first time.
