THE WALL OF FACES

Fred is buried at All Souls Cemetery in Vallejo, CA.

It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Frederick W. Fromme, Jr., for your couageous and valiant service, faithful contribution, and your most holy sacrifice given to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Marine, you shall never be forgotten, nor has your death been in vain!

Again, thank you LCPL Fromme, for a job well done!

REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MY MARINE FRIEND

I went to school with Fred at Vallejo Junior College in 1961-2 and was a friend of his then. I spent many hours laughing at his crazy humor and I grew to like him very much. I think of him often, and wish he were here. I did not serve in Vietnam, and I believe that he died so that I did not have to go. He has always been a hero to me.
