Competing against Florida and South Carolina, Oklahoma could become the new home of one of four historic military junior colleges in the United States if the state legislature is amenable during the 2027 legislative session.
Founded in 1935, the Valley Forge Military College in Pennsylvania is “under siege” by its governing municipality, according to Valley Forge Military Foundation Board Chairman John English, who addressed the Oklahoma Senate Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on Tuesday.
Sen. Kelly Hines, R-Oklahoma City, introduced the subject of the college’s potential relocation to Oklahoma, ultimately calling it “an exceptional opportunity” for the state.
