This Veterans Day, we honor the courage of those who served — and the strength of the families who stand beside them.

Meet Fred B. Stevens Sr., who proudly served in World War II, the Korean War and was a Purple Heart recipient. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose laughter could light up a room. Fred lived a life of service, not just to his country, but to his family.

In 2008, Fred was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and later died from the disease. “We miss his spark and his ever-smiling, laughing personality that made him a wonderful grandfather,” shared his daughter Susan.

As a way to honor her father, Susan and her family team, Fred’s Freedom Fighters, participate in their local Walk to End Alzheimer's, not just for their family, but for the millions of families facing the disease.

💜 Today, and every day, help us honor Fred and the many other Veterans who have been impacted by Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
