THE WALL OF FACES

Corporal Francis Gerald Frechette, Served with Company B, 26th Engineer Battalion, Americal Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your high school classmate Bruce Miner is touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace CPL. Frechette, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Dear Cpl Francis Freschette,
Thank you for your service as a Carpentry & Masonry Specialist. It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Frannie,
As we prepare for our 50th class reunion from Fithcburg High School I can't help but remember back to June of 1969 when I heard of your ultimate sacrifice for our country. I can still feel the chill that came over me that day. At the time I too, was in Vietnam and preparing to depart stateside after my one year tour at Phan Rang AFB. I fondly remember our time on the track team at Fitchburg High School. I have visited your name on the Wall in Washington DC and took a rubbing of the letters as tears streamed down my face. Although you won't be at the reunion in body I know you will be there in spirit. Thanks to you and your family for the ultimate sacrifice and service to our great country.
