Obituary

"SSG Fraleigh was a good guy. He was one of the first E6s to come down as RC in a long time (the rest were promoted Sentinels) and caught a LOT of guff. But, he wasn't above pulling Night Hours when he was in training and took critique from lower-ranking guys very well. He wasn't on my Relief but knew him well. I respected him. He was a TG Brother who deserved his Badge." - Mark Arnold (1978-79)

"He was my Relief Cdr. They moved SGT Pratt back to Sentinel after SSG Fraleigh got there. He was a good man." - James Savage (1977-78)
