Edwin Glover Lifetime Achievement Award

CPT (Ret) Edwin Glover was a lifelong supporter of the Oklahoma State Army ROTC program and the United States.  A member of the 1943 class, CPT Glover entered World War II on July 10, 1943 at Utah Beach, France.  On September 5, 1944, Glover was wounded and captured by German soldiers.  For the next seven month and 11 days, Glover was held captive in a German POW camp.  Following World War II, Glover enrolled at OAMC and graduated with a business degree in 1947 and began working at the university, eventually starting the Department of Internal Audits.  CPT Glover served in a variety of civic organizations including national Scabbard and Blade President.  For more than 60 years, Edwin Glover demonstrated the “Cowboy Spirit” in everything he did, proudly supporting the Cowboy Battalion and those that have passed through this program.
