Curtis Oakes

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Oakes Family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to troops in Afghanistan this week and we'll be dedicating several of these to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of Curtis A. Oakes US Army Staff Sergeant. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of...

To the family of Staff Sgt. Curtis Oakes:
Curtis gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

God continue to bless the Oakes family, & even more his children. Though I didn't know Curtis personally, last night during my Run to Remember I carried a card (photo) in his honor. As I read more about him he was a hero and a friend to all. God Bless Curtis, and God Bless the military as they continue to make the World a better place. Semper Fi., R Wilson CA

The Soldier

There is no one that respects life more than the soldier.

There is no one that hates war more than the soldier.

But the soldier is the realist.

The soldier understands that we must take arms in hostility to defend the freedom and the basic human rights that many come to take for granted.

So there is no one more enraged than the soldier upon seeing those that would condemn us for doing what is vital in order for them to abuse...

Allen and Debbie,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. Your son paid the ultimate price for all us and with that you should be most proud. May God's hand comfort you in this time of need.
