Frederic was decorated by Generals Eisenhower and Patton, receiving three Bronze Stars for Heroic action. As one of the most decorated soldiers in his company, he received early discharge on March 28, 1945 and returned to Albuquerque, where he was employed by and retired from Sears Roebuck in 1968. After retirement, he and Lois made the most of their free time exploring the beauties of the U.S. and Canada in their motor home.
