Fred was Baptised at St. Blaise Roman Catholic Church at Kingston Avenue and Maple Street. He grew up at 612 East New York Avenue where he met and married his childhood sweetheart Rachela (Rae) Filoseta.

Fred was a member of the 365th Infantry Regt. N. Y. National Guard. He was called to active duty in the U. S. Army in November, 1942. After basic training was completed at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, Fred was transferred to the Port of Embarkation at Camp Kilmer, N.J. He boarded a * Liberty Ship bound for England. During this crossing, several attempts were made by enemy U-boats at sinking some of the convoy. Fred's ship was safe enough because laying off the Port Bow was the Battleship ** TEXAS with his brother Blaise at his 40mm Gun Station.

Fred's first assignment in England was at Sherwood Forest in Nottingham with the 9th Air Corps. He then received training with the British on Construction, maintenance, and distruction of the *** HORSA Glider at the factory at Christ Church. With the Horsa he would eventually cross the channel on D-Day, Battle of the Bulge and **** Operation Market Garden. When the war ended, Fred was in Belgium, receiving orders to transfer to the Pacific Theater of Operations. While crossing the Atlantic, Japan surrendered. Fred was discharged from Tampa, Florida and remained in the active reserve then to Inactive reserve. Prior to the Korean Conflict, Fred switched to the Naval Reserve and was called to active duty.

the shortage of English Soldiars, these units employed American, Free

drawn into the air by low flying C 47s to return with more troops. If it
could not be repaired it was blown up so as not fall into the hands of
