Fredric R. Flom

I also wore his POW bracelet when I was a teen. It is long gone but I still have the picture his mom sent me when I wrote to her. Thank you for your service.

Oh my Gosh! Today I went through an old memory box & found my POW bracelet, that I wore during the war. Capt. Fredric Flom, 8-8-66. I'm so glad he made it home & was able to experience his life's journey back here in the US with loved ones. We have been at the "Chain," since the mid 1950's. I sure wish I had known Fred & his family. If there are any surviving family members still in the Waupaca area, I'd love to meet you and here more about Captain Fred. I'm truely sorry for your loss. ...

I wore his POW bracelet when I was a young teenager for several years. Lovely to put a face to the name. Sorry that he's gone. :(

My late husband wore a bracelet inscribed CAPT. FREDRIC FLOM 8-8-66 from the time of his capture until the end of the war. I recently found it. If the family would like to have it, I can send it to them.

I never had the pleasure of knowing Fred Flom but as a teenager I wore his POW bracelet daily and prayed for his safe return. I just recently had it out wondering if he ever made it home. My husband started helping me search and just found this information today February 3, 2024. It was wonderful to learn so much about him and see photos so that I have a face with his name now. I would be happy to send the family my bracelet if they would like to have it.

And the memories continue for our beloved, Fred. RIP Dear Friend, until we meet again. Bill and Suzy Sund

I am so sorry for your loss. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but I wore Captain Flom´s POW bracelet every day until he was released. I am glad he had such a long and wonderful life.

My brother guy and I worked as teenagers at north shore country club. We were walking though the lobby when we saw Fred's little girl standing on the deck between the club house and the pool. We walked over because she was looking into the sky. When she saw us the said her dad told her to be on the deck at noon for a surprise. He heard something for just a second, when two fighter jets came over the club house. They were so low you could count the rivets. The jets desended to the point they...

I never had the honor of meeting Fred, but I wore his name around my wrist on a P.O.W. bracelet for years. Through those years, he was in my thoughts and prayers on a daily basis. Over the years, I've often thought about him, knowing he safely returned and hoped he had a wonderful life upon his return. Recently I ran across that P.O.W. bracelet, and I decided to try to look him up. I was saddened to learn of his passing but felt much comfort knowing he did indeed live a wonderful life. I only...
