"I never met SSG Kerry Frith, but it was my honor to wear his name on my race bib this past Memorial Day while running in the East Northport, NY " I Did the Grid" 4 mile run. At the end of the run there are brass bells which each runner uses to ring in the servicememeber they are representing. Just a note of thanks for all he gave to allow myself and my family to live with the freedom we enjoy each and everyday."

"My name is Gwenevere Zanger. I lived in Norman, Ok a few years ago and was working at the Moose Lodge. One of my customers came in with a painting of Kerry Frith that they had found in their back yard of a new house that the had just purchased. They asked me if there was any way that I could find the family of Kerry Frith to get the painting to them. I have had no luck in finding them. I have called newspapers, tv news..etc. I have served my country as well, and would want my painting to get to may family if it had happened to me...Please help. He resides in my living room on a table and is part of my family (even though I have never met him) and will be here until we find his proper home. E-mail me at playnhard2git0623@yahoo.com Thank you and God Bless."

"Frith
man
hope u get this .
i was his 1st best friend on board the new jersey
he used to sing and play on music tapes we would make n the anchor windlass/ i named a song "apache uprising" 4 him/we would listen 2 zep and p-funk/ there are always brothers n the military
i had a true older brother, and i was his/something told me 2 google just n case i'd get lucky/ at this point i feel "lucky" 2 communicate these feelings/ i have a song posted on utube called renegade/ by chance his photo was frozen 4 representation/ i chose it because it represented the spirit of kerry i remembered/ it's a sad song, but groovy, and now i know why/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyY_PIk1-Do/ii's been 23 years since these photos and i'm sure plenty people have great kerry stories, but n less than a year i felt like i had a lifetime/ finding out the way kerry died truly re-affirms the specialness of the beirut time/if any family want 2 hear some frith shipboard music, let me know/ like kerry , it's funky
peace brother k"
