Grave marker for William R. O'Keefe in Section N Site 2763
of the Willamette National Cemetery, Happy Valley (Clackamas County),
Oregon. His wife Ethel died only 8 months after him and both are
buried at this site.
William was a member of Hq
Company 1st Battalion during WW-II and re-enlisted in 1945. When
the Army Air Corps split off as the newly founded Air Force in 1947 it
opened up new opportunities. William switched services and became
a Chief Warrant Officer as a result.
