Frederick Dale Greene

Sergeant Greene was succumbed to a gunshot wound received five years earlier while he and his partner investigated a burglary at the service station in the area of New Guinea Road and Atlantic Avenue on Ft. Story, Virginia.

The two officers were driving past the service station, located at Atlantic Avenue and 12th Street, at approximately 0345 hours when they observed suspicious activity. As they approached the building two suspects came running out and opened fire, striking Sergeant Greene in the head and wounding his partner.

Sergeant Greene was taken a local hospital and then transferred to the Salisbury, North Carolina, Veterans Affairs Hospital. He remained unconscious and on a respirator until his death. The two suspects fled the scene and the case remains unsolved.

Sergeant Greene was a Vietnam War veteran and had returned from combat only four months before the incident. He was assigned to the 222nd Military Police Detachment. He had been in the military for one year.

He was survived by his parents, four brothers, and three sisters.

Even as the years roll by ,your memory forever is lived through all us. Now in my 40s , I find myself wanting to know so much more. To carry your name is such a honor and a blessing in my life as each moment I feel your presence. We have a lion that guards our home, even in my childhood The LION has always imprinted on my soul. I truly believe its apart of you, everywhere I go in my life the lion has been a significant part . Leo as we have named him guards and protects. Just as you have done for so many. I love you so deeply. One day I pray that I can find someone to just tell me stories of the days of your life. I want to know it all. Until we meet in heaven I will carry your name and a piece of you will forever live on.
