Trip Of A Lifetime: Oklahoma Veterans Take Life-Changing Visit To Washington DC A group of Oklahoma veterans said a trip to Washington D.C. has changed their lives forever. A new nonprofit raised enough money to send 56 veterans there - free of charge. Most of the veterans had never been to our nation's capital before. For them, seeing the war memorials with names of the people they served alongside was both powerful and healing. The first things you notice about Army veteran Kenny Littlefield are his shiny shoes and his big smile. "We don't want to forget the people who died for us to have the freedoms we do," said Littlefield.
