Upon completion of Air Force OTS at Lackland, Air Force Base, he was Commissioned in the United States Air Force. As an Air Force Security Police Officer, he was first assigned to Whiteman Air Force Base in Knobnoster, Missouri, then to Sevilla Spain where he served for 6 years. Upon returning from Spain, he was on orders to Vietnam, and on leave enroute when he and my sister were killed in an auto accident near Hopewell, Virginia.
