His name was Fred George Hetzel (Aug. 10 1933 - February 09, 1961). To the best of my knowledge, he went by "Freddie." In the letter I have, he mentions "returning to the 501st" On his discharge card, it reads: Most significant duty assigned- Hq & Hq Det 301st C/R Bn A P O 909. His service no.: RA 16 367 504 Component and Branch or Class: RA SIG C Grade-Rate-Rank and Date of Appointment: CPL(T), 29 Oct 53 Date of Separation: 10 June 54 The only only thing I was told, was that he was in Recon. There's several stories about him, but each story-teller has their own version! However, all of their endings seem the same, in that something really awful happened to my Dad. ..one more thing, in the letter he wrote, he mentioned that from the 501st, they were transfering people over to Heartbreak Ridge. Once again, Thank you, soooo much! K....
