Col Fred V. Cherry is doing very well he still works everyday at his contracting company CESSI and plays golf quite often. As each and everyone of you stated in your statements he is one of the nicest people anyone could meet or come in contact with. We have been together for 17 years and it has been the most inspiring years of my life. He is truly a hero and there are no words that could describe him better HERO. He is still the Hero he was when he came off the plane in February of 1973. He still lives in Silver Spring MD. Thanks for all the kind words
