AL HR142

Recognizes Nimrod T. "Rod" Frazer for receiving the Silver Star for Gallantry in Action in the Korean Conflict and building a successful career in finance and business.

Commends Frazer for establishing the Croix Rouge Farm Memorial, a ten-foot bronze sculpture at the Battle of Croix Rouge Farm site in France, honoring the service of the 167th Infantry Regiment (42nd "Rainbow" Division) in World War I.

Acknowledges Frazer's 2014 book "Send the Alabamians: World War I Fighters in the Rainbow Division" published by The University of Alabama Press, which documented the 167th Infantry Regiment's achievements and renewed Alabamians' interest in the state's World War I history.

Honors Frazer's planned installation of an aviators' monument at Maxwell Air Force Base and a second Rainbow Division monument at Union Station in Montgomery in 2017, marking the 100th Anniversary of World War I.

Expresses the Alabama House of Representatives' gratitude for Frazer's sponsorship of monuments commemorating American soldiers and aviators in France and Montgomery.
