Dossett, D-Owasso, House and Senate Chairs of the Oklahoma Legislative Veterans Caucus, said they applauded the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs (ODVA), as well as numerous veteran service organizations, who worked to make Oklahoma number one among the 50 states for veterans, per capita, in receipt of federal, service-connected disability benefits.
