Allen Morford
Class of 1964
Army, 4 Years
Captain Military Police Corps. Served in Vietnam in 1967 -1968 with 504th MP BN in support of 101st Airborne and Ist Air Calvary.
Last duty station was Fort Sheridan IL, Company commander 202nd MP Company. Resigned commission in 1971 and graduated U OF M with help from GI Bill. The class of 1964 tragically lost some of it's best in Viet Nam. As a civilian, I vehemently opposed the war; 52,000 of America's finest died in Vietnam so politicians could save face. May they rest in peace.
