Veteran Salute: Mike Ancik

We're recognizing the men and women who have served our country.

On Sept. 1, we want to salute World War II veteran Mike Ancik.

Mike served as 2nd Lieutenant in the Army Air Corps in 1945.

During his year in the Air Corps, he flew 90 round-trip flights over "The Hump," the eastern part of the Himalayas, to deliver much-needed supplies to Chinese forces fighting Japan.

One of Mike's favorite hobbies was fixing up old cars and restoring them to new.

Mike just turned 100 this year and has settled into his retirement here in OKC.

What an amazing life Mike and thank you for your service.
