At 22, Glen crawled out a window of the base hospital to avoid being left behind by his tank company deployment to Morocco in WWII. For the next three years he was involved in heavy fighting across Africa, Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, and Austria. He was the recipient of a Bronze Star and also a Croix De Guerre, the highest honor France can bestow upon a non-citizen. Glen remained with the Army as a civilian employee after the war. He served as the Director of Civilian Personnel at the United States Military Headquarters in Verdun, France for many years; Fort Irwin, California; the Army Finance Center in Indianapolis; Sixth Army Headquarters at the Presidio of San Francisco; Seoul, Korea and Fort Lewis, Washington.

Glen retired to homes in Sumner, Orting, and Bonney Lake, Washington.

Glen lost a son, Charles Brent Berry, to cancer in 1991. His wife of 70 years, Betty Allsop Berry, passed on at age 90 in 2011. An only daughter, Kay Berry (Hart) Petrie, was lost a year later.
