More detail on this person: Did You Know LTC Eldon B Oakley (Oak)?

I am trying to locate anyone who served with my late husband, LTC Eldon B Oakley (Oak). He flew medivac choppers out of Bong Song and Anh Khe from Feb 1967-Feb 1968. His unit had a calling card that looking like a poker hand. He was killed in a jeep accident in Thailand in 1969.

My husband was killed on 9 May 1969. He was the CO of the Aviation Unit stationed at Don Muang Airport. We were stationed in Bangkok and I accompanied him back to Hawaii where he was buried at Punchbowl. He has asked to be buried there if anything happened to him while he was serving in Vietnam.
