Frederick J. Widmer

Participant in the My Lai massacre 1968. Later said he felt no shame. Great guy.

Rest In Peace

Fred, you served with 2 of my friends in VN and i saw you on the documentaries 'Remember My Lai' and the PBS 'American Experience' episode 'My Lai'. You were a Soldier like everyone else. We owe our freedom to men like you. My friend Larry especially remembered you, rusty calley, and ernest medina.

My deepest sympathy to the Family. I remember Fred from many years ago in good ol' LB. What a good man he was.

Damon,

You came to Chartiers Valley once with your Dad. He was so proud to have you watch him in front of a class of students. You probably know that your Dad has been an extremely important part of my teaching the Vietnam Era both at Chartiers Valley High School in Bridgeville and Duquesne University. He was highly respected by the students and was an awesome presence in the classroom. Your Dad was self-deprecating, funny, and tremendously interesting. I, personally, have been so...

Damon, I am so sorry for your loss. After just losing my Mom, I can understand your sorrow. You and your family are in my prayers. Remember that your memories will last a lifetime.
