Overseas service: Okinawa, Japan. Church: Trinity Lutheran, Marysville, Ohio. School: Marysville High School. Okinawa - sent there to help build the air strips that were to be used to bomb Japan; when Fred sent mail home he addressed letters in sequence "Albert O. Geer; Albert K. Geer; Albert I Geer", etc. until he spelled out Okinawa. The censors let it pass."
