About Greg May:

Greg was born in March 1955 at Lackland AFB, San Antonio, Texas. His father was a career administrative and Intelligence officer, retiring after 28 years.

Greg joined the Army in 1973 at 17 from the delayed entry program. He did basic training at Fort Ord, CA, then attended Track & Wheel Vehicle repair (63H20) at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Upon graduation, he was assigned to Fort Riley, Kansas, to an M110/109 artillery unit with the First Infantry Division. A few months after that, the Vietnam conflict ended. A year and a half later, Greg was assigned to the 16th Engineer MAB (Mobile Assault Bridge) battalion of the 3rd Armored Division in Nurnberg, Germany, as a mechanic, CO driver, and Motor Pool clerk, where he spent his remaining time until ETS in January 1976 at the rank of Specialist 4.

Greg then moved to Raleigh, NC, and entered NC State University, majoring in Radio & Television Production, an option in the Department of Speech Communication. At the time, he was working with Winn-Dixie Grocery stores, where he met his wife, Glenda. They were married in 1979 and had a son and a daughter. After graduation, he went to work as a Partner/Manager with Golden Corral Corporation for six years. He worked several different occupations after leaving Golden Corral, ultimately starting with the Durham County Tax Administration as a residential appraiser, from which he retired after 20 years in 2020.

Greg's son, Isaac, recently retired from the U.S. Navy as a supply officer. Their daughter Stefanie currently works as a massage therapist in the Raleigh area. One life event Greg is thankful to God for and proud of is that he delivered his daughter at birth in his home in 1982. Greg has three beautiful granddaughters, 16, 14, and 10. He has been an American Legion member for 27 years.
