Remembering George Allman

George proudly served in the United States Army as a Captain for 11 years. While in Vietnam he served in the IV Corps as a Commander of a Forward Incursion Group of MACV-SOG. MACV-SOG was a highly classified group (were actually commanded by Special Assistant for Counterinsurgency & Special Activities (SACSA) & his staff at the Pentagon) with many incursions into Cambodia. He was decorated for action in IV corps but never recognized for over 50 incursions into Cambodia. He suffered for years, the effect of “Agent Orange”, of which our government vehemently denied for decades. Captain Allman finally succumbed to the many complications from Agent Orange.

George worked in Environmental Safety for over 30 years. He was a Dallas Sheriff’s chaplain. He was also a member of the Mustang Creek Community Church. In high school he was affectionately known as “Porky”. He loved to play golf, drag racing, & NASCAR. He also enjoyed boxing and was a black belt in martial arts. He enjoyed dancing and music, especially Opera.
