Show Millard County Chronicle Granfsville Tells 'Why' On June 8, 1966, a convey travelling travel-ling from Dian to Binh Long was attacked by the Viet Cong. Sergeant John Oakey of Grants-ville, Grants-ville, Utah, was killed in action dur ing the alack. Normally the story would end here, but in this case it doesn't. Sergeant Oakey left behind,, in the form of letters, a story Americans Ameri-cans should hear. The following is from the letters of Army Sergeant John R. Oakey. .The first being to the editor of the Salt Lake Tribune in August 1965. "Since President Johnson increas ed the draft, due to the buildup of forces in Viet Nam, I have noticed (through several newspaprs I read) that the marriage rates are increa ing all over the country. I maybe wrong, but I ffel that these young men are selfish, if they are getting married just to avoid the draft. They are selfish because they are not willing to help tens of thousands thou-sands of people acquire and develop deve-lop something we had all our lives. I have received notice I will be going to Viet Nam shortly. I could have gotten out of shipment, due to the fact that I have just return ed from Korea, but I don't think thatf I would be able to live with myself if I did refuse to go. I am 21 years old but for me this is my first chance to accompolish some thing worthwhile. I never fully realized how much democracy and our great heritage meant to me until I was sent to Korea. I would like nothing more than to be partially responsible for helping other people to have the same wonderful opportunities that we have in this country. Yes, I may be killed in Viet Nam; however, if this happens at least I will die with a feeling of accompolishment.." Three months later, Sergeant Oak ey, a combat veteran of Viet Nam, addressed another letter to the editor edi-tor of the Tribune. "I wrote the Tribune last August when I knew I was being sent to Viet Nam. I have been in Viet Nam now for almost three months and I still feel as I did before, that this is a very worthwhile cause. In the three months that I have been here I have seen many of my best friends killed or wounded and yet even this sight isn't as sicken ing as reports about anti-war dem onstrators and draft-card burners in the United States. Somebody should make these fools realize they are doing more harm than good. The only thing these people are accompolishing is to help supply material for the Com munist propaganda machine. They also bolstering the Viet Cong's con fidence by making the Viet Cong think that American servicemen are standing up by themselves with no support from the people at home. These people have no right to call themselves Americans if they haven't the courage to defend their country and its rights. Two days before Christmas, 1965, John Oakey said the following in a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. c Attemtioi ! DEER HUNTERS Complete Selection of Hunting Supplies and Camper Heeds !

I volunteered for some thing. I have volunteered to take training for Long Range Reconnais sance Patrols. Those patrols are what we call "Suicide Missions" because be-cause there aren't many that return. re-turn. However, I have enough confidence con-fidence In my abilities to feel that I can make it okay. You probably wonder what made me volunteer. Well, as it stands now, I am the only NCO in the troop that is single and doesn't have any kids to support sup-port and I feel that I would much rather have something happen to me than to have a married man get it. I know most of these families personally and I am sure they would do the same for me if the situation were reversed. Therefore, next month I will probably be going to the Marine Base at Da Nang for training." In the months that followed John Oakey continued to write home. His letters had ne recurring theme, he knew what he was doing was right. Sergeant John Oakey was killed in combat on June 8, 1966 - on April 10, 1967, his Decorations were posthumously presented to his mother. They included: 2 Purple Hearts, a Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Republic of Viet Nam Service Medal, Me-dal, the Vietnamese Military Merit Medal, the Gallantry Cross with Palm, and the Vietnamese Offense Ribbon. In the words of Sergeant Oakey's Commanding Officers, "He believed in his country. No one can ever be anything but proud of men like John Oakey."
