Injured Iraqi war veteran now hopes to help school children in the classroom
Someday soon, children will benefit from the lessons injured Iraqi war veteran Joseph E. Fraedrich has learned in the classroom and on the battlefield.
Fraedrich earned his bachelor’s degree in elementary education during commencement exercises held Saturday morning, Dec. 18, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
It marks a big step toward a future the Cobden man hadn’t initially anticipated but a future he’s quite excited about.
