Corporal Oakley - The maximum honor
We were in Platoon 240 in 1962. Fortunately I was honorably discharged without having served in Vietnam. Memories of Plt 240 have faded but your picture brought you back. May you rest in peace with our almighty Lord.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear CPL William Lynn Oakley, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter
