WASHINGTON (May 21, 2003) - The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
has awarded a grant for nearly $3.4 million to Oklahoma for renovations to
the Oklahoma Veterans Center, a comprehensive health care facility in
Norman.
"This grant reflects the federal-state partnership that is honoring
our commitment to care for the men and women who have served in uniform,"
said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Anthony J. Principi. "This partnership
provides a comfortable home for veterans in a time of great personal need."
