THE WALL OF FACES

Allen,

I can't say I knew you well. We met briefly at the Battalion Aid Station in Lai Khe when you arrived. Then you went into Jungle School and we went on Operation Shenandoah II. Although you were the newest of the New Guys,you fought and died bravely. You are still remembered, especially by your combat medic comrades. Black Lions!

A kinder human there never was

A portion of Sepulveda Boulevard/State Highway Route 1 in El Segundo near Los Angeles International Airport has been dedicated to the residents of Los Angeles County who served in Vietnam. This section of highway is now designated the Los Angeles County Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway. Adopted by the California State Legislature in 2000, the highway honors the more than 350,000 California veterans who served in the Vietnam War, including the 5,822 killed or missing in action. Los Angeles County has the largest number of Vietnam veterans in California and 1,857 of its residents were killed or missing in action during that war. This memorial corridor provides a fitting and proper way for the residents of Los Angeles County to express their gratitude and appreciation for the sacrifices these Vietnam veterans have made for their country.

Allen is buried at San Gabriel Cemetery in San Gabriel, CA.
