The Final Salute
	
“Brothers and Sisters in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another. 

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to  Benjamin Ray Frye   our “Brother-in-Arms” .   To his family it symbolizes the love and respeect that we have for Ben.   To Ben it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during the Korean and Vietnam Wars while serving A 20+ year career in the U.S. Air Force.  Ben, we commend you for your honorable military service’  You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country.  You were a true friend.  We bid you a sad farewell.  You will be dearly missed from among our ranks.  Be at Ease.  Rest in Peace.

As a young 18 yr Airman from NY I had the honor of working with Ben at Barksdale FD. His dedication and leadership skills helped me go on and serve in the FD for over 40 yrs. His words of wisdom went a long way. He was a mentor for many. I worked with Ben and Roy Craft on the rescue and had many good laughs and good times. Rest in Peace Sir. Thank You for all that you did. Joseph Carroll (ret) USAF FD, City of Mount Vernon NY.
