Members of the Oklahoma National Guard in Ukraine earned the gratitude and respect of many civilians there as they went above and beyond the call of duty.
Oklahoma's 45th Infantry Brigade has taken a lead role in the multinational effort to train the Ukrainian army, and bring it up to NATO standards.
Spending almost a week in western Ukraine, February 27, 2017 until March 3, 2017, with the men and women of Oklahoma's 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team is easily one of the highlights of my long career as a journalist.
