In creating this website, I have come to a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made by American soldiers during WWII.  1st Lt. Fraser enlisted when he was very young.  As a young adult he made the decision to give his life in the pursuit of freedom.  He spent the final years of his life dedicated to fighting for the American cause.  Many soldiers were faced with these same decisions and chose to stand with the United States and the countries fighting for freedom.  If not for their selflessness and sacrifice, the world would not be as we know it today.  If I could talk to 1st Lt. Fraser, I would tell him how much I appreciate his service.  I would ask him how he was able to make the decision to enlist, and if it was a simple or difficult decision for him.  Through research in his IDPF files, including many official documents and correspondence between his father and the government, I was able to get a picture of a small portion of his life.  I am grateful for his life and sacrifice.  It is a deep gratitude, different than what one experiences for those around them everyday.  He fought for a cause that was bigger than us all.
