Remund, Fred J.
After graduation from Vance AFB, I was trained for the C7A aircraft with the first tour out of Cam Ranh Bay from May of 1968 to May of 1969. Our mission was in support of Army Special forces and Air America in the central highlands. During that year I logged over 1000 combat flying hours.
My second tour was at McChord AFB in the C141 aircraft. Again the majority of my flying was in support of our military mission in SEA. Before leaving the USAF in Feb of 1972, I was also instructing in pilot upgrades and simulator training. By that time, I had more than 2000 hours in the C141 aircraft.
I returned to Wisconsin to the family dairy farm, which I owned/operated until the Federal Dairy Buyout program in 1988. We lived on the family farm until 1994, when we moved to the banks of the St Croix River, which is part of National Park Service, one of the first Scenic Riverway parks.
In 1988, I begin my employment at a local John Deere agricultural dealership and worked until 2011 when I semi-retired. (still semi-retired)
This past August, Sharon and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary. We have two married children and 4 grand children, all living in Minnesota or Wisconsin.
