I may not have known him personally but I miss him with all my heart. I was too young to understand his bravery due to being as young as I was but now I understand his great justice and contribution to this country, and have more and more respect for him every day. His memory lives on everyday. God bless .

Although I met his mom and dad, his sister Peggy, and others, I never had the honor of meeting Fred. The last few years before he died, after hearing his Uncle J.T. (my father-in-law) talk about how Fred continued to fight in Iraq, I starting writing letters to him, not only on behalf of my father-in-law, but also for myself to let him know how much we all admired him, appreciated him, and to thank him for what he was doing. We continued writing each other until the call came. He wrote about how much he looked forward to once again be able to come back to Alabama to see his Uncle J.T. again at the place where he played as a child where the beagles chased him. Hope to meet him one day. Thank you Fred.
