| Fathers of two slain soldiers speak out during Capitol anti-war protest by: Associated Press 11/12/2007 12:00 AM OKLAHOMA CITY -- Two Oklahoma fathers of soldiers slain in Iraq say it’s past time to end the United States’ participation in the war. Warren Henthron of Choctaw and John Scripsick of Wayne joined others in a Veterans Day protest of the war at the state Capitol on Monday. Scripsick’s 22-year-old son, Bryan Scripsick, was a Marine corporal who died in September while engaged in combat in Anbar Province in Iraq. Henthorn’s son, 25-year-old Jeffrey Henthorn, was an Army specialist killed during his second tour of Iraq in 2005. Scripsick and Henthron praised veterans for their service, but said the Iraq war should never have happened and it is time to bring troops home. http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=071112_1__OKLAH81170 |
