Veteran Salute: Portica Tinsley

We want to salute the men and women who served our country.

On Dec. 9, we want to salute Army veteran Portica Tinsley.

Her nominator said that she is a mother, a teacher and a Camp Classen Director for Briarwood Elementary in Moore.

She puts her family, students and friends before herself.

They also told us she is deploying Wednesday for Iraq.

She is one-of-a-kind and serves her country with every ounce of her being.

Your students, family, friends, and us here at News 9 will all be thinking of you, and wishing you a safe deployment to Iraq.

Thank you for your service, Portica Tinsley.
