After graduation Milton enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served 3 years honorably as a Korean War Veteran.

He maintained memberships with the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, American Legion, the Montford Point Marine Corps, Tennessee State University Alumni Chapter, The 100 Black Men associations in Indianapolis, and the Indiana African American Genealogy Group. He volunteered weekly at his granddaughters elementary schools and was a vital contributor to the Indiana State Museums Legacy Theater: Indiana's African-American Experience. His contributions to the community and his fellow man are endless. He was a dedicated friend, constant mentor to youth, and a champion of others accomplishments and successes.

Milton loved the Lord and often acknowledged and said that he was truly blessed and affirmed his trust in God.
