USS FRED T. BERRY DD/DDE 858
SHIP'S HISTORY ADDENDA
As former shipmates send in their remembrances of days aboard the ship they will be added to this page. Eventually they will be added to the formal ship's history, as they are extremely important to this group as well as the history of our country. It's imperative that Americans be reminded of the dedication and contributions of its sailors both living and dead, and especially those who gave their lives to preserve the freedoms we all enjoy.
