00:00It is Veterans Day, and speaking of veterans, if I could ask our listeners to do something,
00:10if you're looking to salute a veteran today, Fred Waggett is a longtime Patriots employee,
00:16works here at the stadium, Patriots security team member. He's been here for, gosh, at least 15
00:23years. I've done Fred forever, yeah. Yeah. Proud veteran, served in both the Army and the Navy.
00:29He served in multiple branches, and he's been very committed to honoring fellow service members,
00:37including those who never returned home, and he has had a number of quiet gestures in his time here
00:44working for the team, and that includes placing flowers at the POW seat and chair as a tribute.
00:54He does that often, after almost every event here. That's something that he has quietly done
01:00for a very long time. Memorial Day, he makes sure that there are fresh flowers placed there,
01:07and when that north end zone was renovated, he was a part of that. He wanted to collaborate on that,
01:18and he secured that seat, and now there's a permanent display in Foxborough, and Fred's,
01:24Fred's, I'm telling you, take our word for it. Take Zoe's word for it, if you don't believe me.
01:28Fred's a winner.
