  • Frederick A. Allen Corporal Frederick A. Allen Enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in June 1968 in Auburn, New York for a Two-Year
    Frederick A. Allen Corporal Frederick A. Allen enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in June 1968 in Auburn, New York for a two-year tour. Upon completion of basic training at Parris Island and infantry training regiment at Camp Geiger, Frederick joined Charlie Co. 13th Engineer Battalion, 5th Marine Division and then transferred to 1st Marine Division where he served as a combat engineer. Frederick began serving in Vietnam in 1969. His first detail was in An Hoa sweeping the road with a metal detector for mines and booby traps, every day for 30 days. As a demolition expert, his first attachment was with the 5th Marines. With the 5th Marines, Frederick was part of the operation in “Dodge City,” so called by troops because of its “shoot-em-up” characteristics. The area 10 miles south of Da Nang was familiar ground for the Marines. It was about five miles wide and three miles long. Frederick said “Dodge City” and “The Arizona Territory” were dreadful places during his tour in Vietnam, the former rife with booby traps and the latter rife with aggressive enemy forces. Frederick spent his last three months of deployment in Da Nang, where he taught demolition school. He instructed incoming Marines on identifying different booby traps, punji pits, and unexploded ordnances, and taught the proper use of C-4 explosives to help mitigate and eliminate the threat to our troops.
