Person
Nimrod T. Frazer was born in Montgomery, Alabama, to a family with a strong military tradition. Following in their footsteps, Frazer enlisted in the Army in 1950 and volunteered for Korea. Serving as a tank platoon leader, he was awarded the Silver Star for Gallantry in Action. On returning to the United States, Frazer attended Columbia University and Harvard, receiving an MBA from Harvard. He engaged in a successful business career. Service to country and community have been his main focus throughout life. In 2011, he erected a Memorial to the Rainbow Division and the 167th Infantry Regiment on the site of the battle of Croix Rouge Farm in France where his father received a Purple Heart. It honors all soldiers of the Rainbow Division who gave their lives on French battlefields during WWI. He has told their story in a book called Send the Alabamians, published in 2014 by the University of Alabama Press. In 2017, he gave the same over life-size bronze sculpture, representing an American soldier carrying the body of his dead comrade, a work by the British sculptor James Butler, R.A., to the city of Montgomery. In 2017, France made Frazer a Knight in the Order of the Legion of Honor.
