In preparation for next month’s Veterans Day (Nov. 11), we have begun compiling a list of our Penn Theta Chapter servicemen and veterans along with their stories. We have only scratched the surface. We need your help to build our list, tell the stories and pay tribute to these men who have excelled with honor.
Please review the list below and leave your comments in the box at the bottom. Help us tell the stories and feel free to leave your notes of gratitude to these brothers willing to sacrifice for the protection of our freedoms. If you have longer stories and photos to send, you can send them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Excerpt from Frederick’s obituary: “a retired officer in the U.S. Army; September 10, 1999. During the Second World War he served in Europe as commander of a rifle company; after the war, he served in the Army of Occupation in several command and staff positions, and later, combat duty in the Korean War.”
