The family of SFC Frederick Kiefer has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to honor this American hero, it will be our honor to do so.
Fred Kiefer was born 8 NOV 1942, and entered eternal rest 16 DEC 2013. He was a 20+ year Army veteran with the Army's 82nd Airborne Division serving one tour in Vietnam where he was awarded the Bronze Star. He was also a drill sergeant for 9 years and was awarded two Meritorious Service medals.
Following his retirement from the Army, Fred worked as a truck driver and corrections officer. He was an avid motorcycle rider making many long distance runs on his HD. His son, Soloman, is an avid motorcycle rider also.
