Bank helps bring troops home for holidays

BancFirst, along with Governor Brad Henry and state military and veteran affairs leaders, are supporting the statewide initiative “Operation Holiday Homecoming,” which aims to bring home National Guard troops for the holidays. Gov. Henry urged Oklahomans to support the cause with donations that will allow members of the 45th Infantry Brigade, currently training at Fort Bliss, Texas, to be transported home for the holidays, all expenses paid, before the troops' deployment to Iraq in January 2008. BancFirst is the official depositor of the project, and donations can be made at any BancFirst location to the “Operation Holiday Homecoming” account.

To ensure transportation for the estimated 2,600 troops, "Operation Holiday Homecoming" needs to raise approximately $600,000 to cover the use of 60 buses.

Visit www.bancfirst.com for a complete listing of Oklahoma branch locations. Mail-in donations can be sent to The American Legion of Oklahoma, Operation Holiday Homecoming, P.O. Box 53037, Oklahoma City OK, 73152.
