SUMMARY: Oakley Hacker, believed to be the oldest World War II veteran in Kentucky, recently celebrated his 108th birthday. Born on October 2, 1916, and serving in the U.S. Navy for nearly five years, Hacker achieved the rank of Gunners Mate Second Class and played a crucial role in the D-Day invasion, overseeing gunnery support. After returning home, he worked various jobs until retiring at 92 due to declining eyesight. Now residing at the Paul E. Patton Eastern Kentucky Veteran Center, Hacker is visited frequently by his daughter, who cherishes their memories together. He remains proud of his service and family, which includes grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

You’ve probably heard the saying “Age is just a number,” but imagine being over 100 years old—108 to be exact.
