You have talk...am sorry to hear about Uncle Fred. You have talked a good bit about him. I always said that if we did deep enough we would find that we are related or somehow connected. Well we are... my grandad...the one I told you about who was drafted at age 38 and served in the Bulge and whose binoclars you have looked through (courtesy of the German army)... well he served in the 80th also!!!! It was your story of the Queen Mary that struck a cord....

I'm glad you learned a bit more about Fred's legacy via this article. Maybe we'll run into each other at another family function. Take care.Jared Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16338961190412502120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187345560479137231.post-75046383500752579322009-06-22T08:29:03.083-04:002009-06-22T08:29:03.083-04:00Hi there!

I have met Uncle Fred on numerous occasions, and wish that I had been able to know him as well as you have. This country has truly lost a great patriot.

What I mean by that is the generation that lived in the age most of us only read about in the history books. I am glad that you had the chance to know him and listen to his stories. I hope you finish your book. I am sure others would love to learn more about himPattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840399136320094652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187345560479137231.post-38205781651214659952009-06-21T10:16:07.204-04:002009-06-21T10:16:07.204-04:00May God bless your uncle Fred and may he rest in e...May God bless your uncle Fred and may he rest in eternal peace with his bride.
