Ssg Greg Fronius
Our SFA Chapter is named after Greg. I wanted to pay homage to this hero.
The first pic is a bit grainy, its probably the 2d or 3d generation of copying this particular picture. It features Ssg. Fronius giving weapons training in El Paraiso. The 2d on is a standard Army photo.

I went through the SFQC with Greg.
With his hair, he was never hard to spot.
RIP, hermano. You died doing your job (and then some) and will not be forgotten.

Greg was promoted posthumously to SFC. He was a good man.
