From the June 14th KDLT News, South Dakota.
Orderly Sergeant Isaac Fry, Medal of Honor winner, received a plaque in his honor at the Sioux Falls, SD, Veteran's Memorial Park. he received the Medal of Honor for his service aboard the USS Ticonderoga at the Second Battle of Fort Fisher.
After the war, he moved to South Dakota and lived in the Garreton area until his death in 1900.
The Garreton American Legion Honor Guard was on hand for the dedication.
A photo of Fry accompanied the article.
The report mistakenly listed him as being in the army and also referred to Fort Fisher as just gun emplacements. It was definitely more than that.
Congratulations to the Family of Isaac Fry. --Old B-Runner
