All gave some, Some gave all
Freddie and I grew up within a mile of each other. He being two years older Freddie was a mentor to me. He was well liked and fun to be around. The small town we lived in was very proud of Freddie. Freddie is buried in a cemetery on property that was in my family for years. For years while I remained in the area, I would go by and stop to say a word. Freddie is within a few feet of my parents. For years, I and others wondered what had happened. I feel a sense of relief knowing how Freddie fell. Freddie was a great American at a time when it wasnt popular. I will forever remember his constantly smiling face and fun loving attitude. ALL GAVE SOME, SOME GAVE ALL, SOME STOOD TRUE FOR THE RED WHITE AND BLUE AND SOME HAD TO FALL. Thank you for your sacrifice Freddie! God Bless
