I met Milton shortly after I joined the Army at Fort Knox, Kentucky. He was a good friend and soldier. I lost track of him when we finished our training and received different assignments. I regret that our paths did not cross again.
Rest in peace Milton! My former classmate from grade school. My condolences to the family!
May God Bless Your Family!
