Does anyone know if the DHC Twin Otter was/is ever been used by the US
military?

Yep. The Army had a few of them (UV-18A)--a handful were assigned to duty in
Alaska, IIRC, with the ARNG. I believe one was also used by the folks at the
Airborne Test Board at Bragg, and maybe by the Golden Knights at one time to
support training. The USAFA uses some for sport parachute dropping. There
were reports a year or two ago of sightings of them in places like
Afghanistan--who the operators are (USAF special operations types or the
CIA) is proabably anyone's guess.
