MASTER SERGEANT ZACHARY D. FRIEDRICH

Today is your 41st birthday Brother. Your leaving us 81 days ago still does not seem real. The pain is real but it is impossible to think you are not in this world. Impossible to accept. You survived the deployments, survived the training; I just wish we understood better what happened to cause this tragedy. It hurts in a way that cannot be explained. We are all broken now, in a way that can never be fixed. This entire world is broken now that you are not in it. I am so sorry that none of us...

I can’t express my condolences enough. Zach was more than a friend, he was a mentor and a guy I admired and strived to be like. Zach is truly missed.

Zach, you’ll be missed bud. I appreciate everything you did for me and I’ll miss our talks together.

I want to give my condolences to Zachary's family. He was an amazing Soldier, and friend to many! His memory will live on with all of us.

1SG Friedrich was a caring leader, great soldier, and a friend to all who he served with. It was an honor to know him and an even greater honor to serve with him. See you around 1SG.

Fry was good friends with my exhusband while they were at Ft. Riley. He also lived with us at Ft Campbell for a short time, while he was getting settled. We all had some fun times together. He always had a heart of gold and cared for everyone around him. His family will definitely be in my heart and prayers. Fry will always be honored and never be forgotten.

Thanks for the memories, Zak, you will be missed.
