River Nimmo spent most of his short life fighting cancer, finally passing away in his mother's arms at age five. River, who went by "Oakley," dreamed of a life in the military as an "Army man," dressing in camouflage and playing with toy guns on his better days. Following the announcement of his passing, Oakley's family appealed to members of the military to attend their son's funeral.

The robust attendance of service members touched by Oakley's passion sparked further honor from the Arkansas National Guard who bestowed on him the honorary title of Colonel with the duty title of ARMY MAN. The certificate was signed by Maj. Gen. Mark H. Berry, the Adjutant General of the State of Arkansas, and Gov. Asa Hutchinson, Commander-in-Chief of the Arkansas National Guard.

Outstanding.
