Specialist Fred Prince, currently assigned to the JBLM WTB, first served in Hawaii with the 25th Infantry Division 3-25 Cacti. He has been deployed to Iraq, and earned his Combat Infantryman's Badge in operations in the Eastern Desert south of Tikrit. He served for three years before re-enlisting for change of station to Ft Lewis. Three weeks later he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, a highly aggressive blood cancer. It was diagnosed just in time as another few more days would have likely resulted in him not being here to write this. Fred Prince remains committed to continuing service in his chosen MOS, that of 11B, Infantryman. If possible, this experience has strengthened his determination and dedication to do what is necessary to close with and destroy the enemies of freedom who would bring terror to our shores. He is an avid outdoor enthusiast with a great love for the mountains and forests of the western United States. He comes from a background of working for 13 years, before joining the Army, in every aspect of the construction industry.
