In speaking of Armed Forces Day Fraser said, "Many of us have family members or loved ones in the military, even if they are not fighting on the front to maintain our nation's freedom and security, their efforts play a very important role in keeping America the land of the free and the home of the brave."  He continued saying, "This is our small way of saying thank you to our service men and women."
