Tulsa is a city on the Arkansas River, in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It’s known for its art deco architecture, mostly in the central Deco District. Landmarks like the Philcade and Philtower buildings reflect a 20th-century construction boom fueled by the prosperous local oil industry. The Philbrook Museum of Art is housed in an Italianate villa that was once the home of a local oil magnate.
Tulsa lies in northeastern Oklahoma, within the state's Green Country, and at the convergence of the Great Plains and the Ozark Plateau. The wide and shallow Arkansas River runs through the metro, and numerous lakes, reservoirs, smaller rivers, and wooded hills enliven the landscape.
Winters are cool to mild. Being exposed to plains winds, arctic freezing is not unknown, but it does not last long. There is not much snow, just a few inches each year, typically, but ice storms are more of a concern. The months April through June are stormy, and, Tulsa being in Tornado Alley, twisters will make an appearance - though they tend to appear in the flatter countryside. Summers are hot. It will often be above 90 degrees from May through September. Fall is the best time of year: mild temperatures, a nice breeze (all of Oklahoma is breezy), and changing tree colors. Tulsa has over 225 days of sunshine annually. In all, the city receives an average of 40 inches of precipitation each year, which helps keep Tulsa and Green Country green.
There are more nearly a million people in the metro area. Tulsa is often paired with its neighbor Broken Arrow, itself the fourth largest city in the state, though Tulsa is clearly the big brother. Here you will find a combination of western, Midwestern, and southern charm, along with a cosmopolitan atmosphere. The people love their city and are welcoming and eager to help you find your way. You may notice that Tulsa has one of the largest concentrations of Art Deco design in the country, and other mid-century architecture, a result of having been a boom-town from the 1920s through 1950s. Oil was what made Tulsa. Wealthy barons such as Frank Phillips built stately mansions for themselves but also beautified the city along the way.
As a result the city has a skyline that, until recently, bested Oklahoma City's. Tulsa likes to think of itself as the cultural capital of the state, boasting notable museums, universities, restaurants, festivals, quirky neighborhoods, and especially music - particularly country and blues musicians. Stars from Roy Clark to Leon Russell to Garth Brooks all made their start here.

Portrait dedicated recognizing 45th Infantry Division Medal of Honor recipient
Story and Video by 1st Lt. Leanna Litsch, Oklahoma National Guard Office of Public Affairs

BROKEN ARROW, Okla. – Ernest Childers Middle School officials honored a retired Oklahoma Army National Guardsman and Medal of Honor recipient during World War II at a portrait dedication ceremony on Wednesday.
The portrait of the late Broken Arrow native and Muscogee (Creek) Native American, Lt. Col. (Ret) Ernest Childers, will permanently remain in the school, leaving a legacy to echo throughout the hallways for newer generations. Childers passed away in March 2005.
“The portrait will reside in our front office,” said the school’s principal, Stacy Replogle, of Sapulpa, Oklahoma. “There will actually be a focal wall, so as soon as you walk into our building, everyone will be drawn to it.”
The school, named after Childers and opened in 1985, recently completed a memorial gallery that represents the life of Childers. Members of the 45th Infantry Division Museum, to include executive director Col. (Ret) David Brown, of Oklahoma City, and curator Mike Gonzales, assisted the school in setting up the gallery with artifacts and pictures of Childers throughout his life.
Childers holds a significant role in the history of the Oklahoma National Guard, as one of few who have earned the nation’s highest award for valor. His courageous actions on September 22, 1943, in Oliveto, Italy, earned him the Congressional Medal of Honor, after having saved eight of his men by advancing upon and killing German Soldiers by himself, all while having a broken foot.
“It’s a very rare medal,” said Gonzales, of Oklahoma City. “The men who receive it are true heroes.”
Special guests during the ceremony included Childers’ eldest daughter, Elaine Childers, of Broken Arrow, who spoke nothing but high-praise and admiration for her father, expressing his undying zeal for the importance of education, which ultimately led her to becoming a teacher.
“I would never be where I am today and I would never love what I’m doing if not for my father’s emphasis on education,” Elaine said.
Also in attendance was Sen. Bill Brown, of Henryetta, Oklahoma, District 36 Senator and sponsor for the State Senate Historical Preservation Fund, who helped initiate the portraits to be placed in both the school and at the Oklahoma State Capitol.
“Kids know; they understand and I think as they walk by, if you don’t know about him, you’re curious, because it’s such a focal point within our building,” Replogle said. “I’ve been in many different school districts and many different middle schools and I’ve never seen anything quite like this, so I think it’s pretty special.”
Mike Wimmer of Muskogee, Oklahoma, painted the portrait. Wimmer has also painted many historical portraits that reside in the State Capitol, including another Childers portrait.
“If the incredible life of this one man can spark that kind of dedication in just one of these students, the world will be an infinitely better place,” said Gonzales.
