Alton G. Post

He had a profound impact on my career in Vietnam. I had great confidence in every word he spoke

Was recently made aware of his passing. Commanded a company in his battalion in Hawaii in the 1960s where he suggested I go to flight school. A decision for which I am eternally grateful. I again served in his aviation group in Vietnam. Al Post was an unassuming polished professional officer who readily helped young officers develop. Camille and I are saddened by his passing.

Men who served our country; deserving of recognition on This July 4th. Major General Alton G. Post died March 2, 2020, age of 99.
He served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam. It was in Vietnam that he influenced me toward an Army career. At the time I had no interest in serving my 2 years; actually only 20 months in 1971 as the war began to wind down a Christmas break had been announced. He was the USARV DCSMAT and I was Chief of USARVICCV Finance Division. I briefed him often. We also ran...

Please accept our sincere condolences. General Post was an amazing officer, gentleman and a friend of my family and parents, COL.Robert A. and Ellen Bonifacio. His bravery and lifelong service to our country will always be remembered. We are so saddened by your loss. We know you are very proud as we are. Sincerely, Robert and Donna Bonifacio Chichester

My dad was pretty sad when he got the news. My dad just wrote him a letter and is still alive. My dad saved his life many times and got aPurple Heart. Captain Post was my dads hero. I am sorry about his loss and felt like I knew Captain Post because my dad always talked about him. I am very sorry about your loss your dad was incredible.
